[SOLVED] User with SSH logon only

DorsetBlue · 02-10-2010, 04:37 AM

Is there anyway to prevent a user from being able to logon at a machine (Terminal and XWindows) but allow that user to logon remotely using SSH?

This user is for remote capture of logs only - on a private network (no internet access).

There is.

You have to review and edit this file

Code:

/etc/security/access.conf

accordingly
