    Hi
    I run Red Hat 7.2 at work and i can ssh from home into the linux box
    until now. I finally figured out my ISP changed from static to
    dynamic IP. If I remove the hosts.allow and hosts.deny, it works fine.
    I would like to do the RSA key instead of the hosts.allow. (I think I
    know how to do this). May I ask
    1. Would removing the hosts.allow/deny be compromising security?
    2. What exactly do I need to do to make sshd not look at the
    hosts.allow/deny files?
    TIA.
