Hi again.

After not being able to manage to chroot specific users into their home
dirs I decided to want to not let specific users connect to my computer
via ssh.

I had a look at /etc/ssh/sshd.conf but didn't find anything where I
could add UIDs or Usernames that should not be able to login via SSH.

Can this be done? If 'yes': how? :)

Thanks in advance,

Sebastian
