I  am not sure if I am following you correctly. I frequently access
computer 3 from computer 2. If I block port 22 I will have to use
another on, correct? If I do enable another one, what is to prevent a
user on computer 1 from accessing computer 2 and then on to computer 3?

What I want to accomplish is making it impossible to access computer 3
from other than computer 2 and then only if computer two is not being
used as a slave from computer 1, or any other computer for that matter.

Probably what I want cannot be implemented; however, I thought I would
ask anyway.
