I have an FC3 system using OpenSSH and would like to allow only one user to

different points:

1) Added: "Protocol 2"
2) Toggle: "AllowPAM no"

There's no such directive.  You probably mean "UsePAM", but it should make
no difference to the action of AllowUsers.

3) Added: "AllowUsers myuser"

Then, I executed: "/usr/sbin/sshd"

Even after that, I could login with a different user than "myuser". What 
did I do wrong?

Unless you stopped the running sshd before executing /usr/sbin/sshd
(which you didn't mention) then the old one is still running with the
old config.  Try "/sbin/service sshd reload", sending a SIGHUP to the
listening sshd manually or killing the running sshd before starting the
new one.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
