True: including the default Mandrake setup (as I found out when trying to test 
something, and getting totally unexpected results - results not repeatable 
from any machine other than my own).

How would I actually switch that behaviour off?

And on a related point, I'm confused as to how to limit ssh access to the 
machine.   It's not a problem at the moment (it's limited to machines on my 
local network only by Shorewall rules), but ideally I'd like to be able to 
allow Peter to use ssh (and by extension scp) when he's in Cambridge.  Is te 
best way to use hosts.allow and hosts.deny, or is there a better way?
