AllowUsers

[Philip Berndroth]

Hi guys,

i think, that we have found an issue in the config "sshd_config".

The correct way is, to set AllowUsers in the config like this:


> AllowUsers root at 10.10.10.10 user1 at 20.20.20.20 user2 at 30.30.30.30



In our case, users were separated with a comma. Our hoster has not 
followed the correct syntax.
After a reload of the ssh service no error was displayed, and the hoster 
thought that configuration was correct.

After a reload with the wrong syntax in config file, the service should 
issue an error and should not reload!

Server:
Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
OpenSSH_5.3p1 Debian-3ubuntu7, OpenSSL 0.9.8k 25 Mar 2009
