How can i restrict certain users from logging onto SSH. I tried to create a userlist like with vsFTP but that does not work. Any suggestions

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.

I posted something similar to this in the Mandrake forum. You can find it here.

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