SSH: The Secure Shell - Per-Account Server Configuration
Overview One has seen two techniques for controlling the SSH server's behavior globally: compile-time configuration and serverwide configuration. These techniques affect all incoming SSH connections to a given server machine. Now it's time to introduce a third, finer-grained method of server control: per-account configuration. As the name implies, per-account configuration controls the SSH server differently for each user account on the server machine. For example, a user account sandy can accept incoming SSH connections from any machine on the Internet, while rick permits connections only from the domain verysafe.com, and fraidycat refuses key-based connections. Each user configures his own account, using the facilities highlighted, without needing special privileges or assistance from the system administrator.
