AllowUsers issue




Hi everybody,

I have an FC3 system using OpenSSH and would like to allow only one user to login.
This way, I have changed the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config at 3 different points:


1) Added: "Protocol 2"
2) Toggle: "AllowPAM no"
3) Added: "AllowUsers myuser"

Then, I executed: "/usr/sbin/sshd"

Even after that, I could login with a different user than "myuser". What did I do wrong?

I am using OpenSSH 3.9p1-7

Thank you,

Roberto Gallo
