Lastly, a simplest denial of service, creating /etc/nologin can disrupt the service.
SSH seems very finicky... in many ways. Unless this has been changed in recent versions, it's also possible to disrupt/deny ssh service if the directory *above* a login id's home directory isn't readable. Can anyone explain what *that* requirement is for? Scott ps: Also, as a side note, scp seems to ignore alternative-login in ssh. I'm not sure if that's a feature or a bug -- I consider it a bug and thus have disabled scp on sites where I use alternative-login. pps: 1.2.26 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBOGYarB4PLs9vCOqdAQH01gQA3NRhNlkjozdW6lb/FRsmOXWF3Y9quMzr dQw804dEZ4CtkkTPX5rEoReKCAXvFn2FM6ZXOOYAYLytw7mXMHWvYmcbc25/MtR7 YoJYnb/OKDfSLc50GZmJUEEv8JmS5gG51AAyWvHggnWqnhUocz7pu6kVXv4YhjmA kOTd77t3bU4= =CNt9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
