Because I am limited to I guess two or three ip's. You can use tcp wrappers to do this. e.g. /etc/hosts.deny ALL: ALL /etc/hosts.allow SSHD: aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd A long time ago someone else posted this trick for hosts.deny, which is what I use, though it can get noisy: ALL: ALL: spawn echo tcpwrap has detected an Unauthorised Connection \ Attempt from %h %a to %d at `date`|tee -a /var/log/secure|mail root Regards, Chris
