RE: PAM and SSH

It does not seem to work.
It appears that for sshd, sshusers would have to be their primary group and it 
is not.

It also appears that the Allow* directives act like seives. You have to pass 
all of the specified criteria to get in.
This means they would have be in the right group AND local rather than OR which 
is what I need.

Does anyone know how to do this with PAM?
I now have the "remoteusers" group setup so that might make it easier.

An alternative to using pam_listfile (assuming you're using OpenSSH):

Put your chosen few users into a group, say, "sshusers" then put the
following in sshd_config:

AllowGroups sshusers
AllowUsers *@192.168.1.*
