[Gllug] Selective SSH logins

[Kilaru Sambaiah]

Hi Gary,
  This is what you are looking?

*DenyUsers*
             This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns,
             separated by spaces.  Login is disallowed for user names that
             match one of the patterns.  Only user names are valid; a numeri-
             cal user ID is not recognized.  By default, login is allowed for
             all users.  If the pattern takes the form USER at HOST then USER and
             HOST are separately checked, restricting logins to particular
             users from particular hosts.  The allow/deny directives are pro-
             cessed in the following order: *DenyUsers*, *AllowUsers*,
*DenyGroups*,
             and finally *AllowGroups*.
thanks,
Sam
