I've been reading over the hosts.deny man page to get some ideas, but I'm unclear on how to implement them. I know what I want to do, but I don't know how to do it. I want to allow all connections from my five users, those being acsacx, amy, michael, wayne and zack, unless those requests come from 211.182.241.* These acceptable accounts will likely only log in through ssh. I want to deny 211.182.241.* unconditonally. Can anyone give me an example of a hosts.allow/hosts.deny setup that would do this?
