In-Reply-To: <3.0.6.32.20001023205511.007d1db0@mail.ufw2.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Id: Hi: /etc/securetty has nothing to do with IP addresses or ETH0, it's merely concerned with TTY devices (either /dev/ttyXX or /dev/pts/xx). If you want to restrict access to various IP addresses then use host.allow and host.deny, but this only works for blanket access to services like SSH , FTP, telnet, etc, and is not used to accept or reject particular users.
