kalliste Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Hi guys, wow, big learning curve here, but I think I'm starting to understand things. I've just upgraded my mandriva msec security level to 4 and when I try to SSH into my box the session dies without any error or message. I've tried the man pages etc for SSH but I'm thinking something I don't know about has changed with the security settings (I used to be able to login at level 3). Any ideas where to look or what to read? many thanks. Ant [moved from Software by spinynorman] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jboy Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Read the section on level 4 in /usr/share/doc/msec-0.45.1/security.txt You probably also need a line in /etc/hosts.allow to specifically allow the IP addresses of those machines that you want to ssh into your box: sshd:<ip_address>:ALLOW man hosts.allow (for syntax on specifying ip addresses) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalliste Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 Great reply, exactly what I needed - reading the security.txt will have warded off a few other problems too! thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
