Hi Ankush, I believe you can do this by running a different sshd for each unique port (using ListenAddress, Port) that you wish to allow ssh connections to, then use the "AllowUsers" configuration property for each respective sshd to limit the logins on each port to given users. You will need to modify or duplicate the sshd service script to cater for this, and have multiple sshd_config files, one for each unique port. > > Moreover is it possible to restrict some users to login only from few > machines for example I want to restrict user tom that he can only > login from one machine ? Have a look at /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny for this one. Use of these files will affect all connections, not just those via ssh.
