I heard we can set security in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny on user base also like something user@domain or something if so how can I restrict a user to access particular service by his/her user name in a particular host via /etc/hosts.allow or /etc/hosts.deny

Please read 'man 5 hosts_access' for details and examples. If unsure then, after reading, post an example of what you are going to use to get feedback. (Before you do, do realize that using tcp_wrappers with ident should not be mistaken for a primary or failsafe way of performing user authentication.)

* I have noticed that you have not replied back in approximately fifty percent of the threads you have created over the years and that you sometimes ask very generic questions that any regular user (let alone somebody who lists "System Administrator" as his occupation) should be able to solve by reading the manual pages or by searching LQ for clues. Not responding back causes dangling threads without concrete answers. Providing feedback shows appreciation for your fellow LQ members and seeking closure, by indicating value of the solution offered, creates threads that everyone can benefit from.

Hi unSpawn

Apologies for this I will take care in the future. But I always feel LQ as my close friend whenever I stuck and found no support from somewhere and way to troubleshoot, I found LQ as my best friend for resolving my issue I always hope if there is way for solving my IT issue ie LQ. Thats why I always used to put my queries in LQ. I learnt many things from LQ and I will be very grateful and want to say Thank you to all LQ members and moderators for this such type of great support.

I will check the man page as you suggested and if I am not able to resolve then I will reply back. Till then bye.

And Thanks for response.
