: The files hosts.allow and hosts.deny can be used to deny access to
: a specific user, network, or everybody and can be applied to specific
: services.  I use these files to basically deny access of all services
: to everyone except httpd and my other accounts on other machines.  This

Poor Camille...  got to experience the need for blocking firsthand.... :/

Also, there is a file /etc/login.defs  that defines who is allowed to
login.  The CONSOLE line is either a list of devices that ROOT is allowed
to log in on, or a pointer to a file listing the same...

But /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny are probably what you want.

Man page is at tcpd(8).  Also look at tcpdchk and tcpdmatch.

Good luck!
