Hello,

I'm using OpenSSH 3.1p1 and would like to only allow users in one
group to log onto a particular host. I've added "AllowGroups linux"
to the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file but it doesn't seem to work:

ruby:~> ssh david@mercury
david@mercury's password:
Authentication successful.
Last login: Fri Apr 12 14:18:31 2002 from ruby
Linux 2.4.18.
mercury:/home/student1/david> groups
student
mercury:/home/student1/david>

Do I have to do anything with "DenyGroups"

I'm using Slackware 8.0 with OpenSSH 3.1p1 custom
compiled. Authentication is through NIS/YP if that would make a
difference.

Thanks for any info.
