Not really what you are looking for, but you could set everyone who should have access to SSH into a group, and change the others access to -rwx (except on files like su)

Your /etc/ssh/sshd_config has an AllowUsers line that lets you restrict ssh access to the users named on that line. Check out man sshd_config for the fine details.

"The option AllowUsers specifies which users can access ssh services. Multiple users can be specified, separated by spaces. "

from "COnfigure the SSH file" at
