Tightening up ssh

[Graham North]

Hi Daniel
Thank you!  If I read the manpage correctly, invoking AllowUsers 
automatically changes the default behaviour and restricts access to only 
those users specificied.   That fits my needs exactly.   (or at least my 
current perceived needs :--))
Cheers, Graham/
