Folks,
On a Fujitsu-Siemens PrimePower 650 running Solaris 8, I'm trying to
deny ssh access to a specific user with the DenyUsers option in
sshd_config.
The line looks (pretty simply):
DenyUsers valerio
I have since killed -HUP the sshd pid, but I am still able to login as
user valerio.
Any idea what I am doing wrong or how to troubleshoot this?
Thanks in advance

That should work for openssh - are you sure it's the right sshd_config
file? Judging by the version number of OS and ssh, you probably updated
openssh. Perhaps you installed from source without specifying a prefix?
In that case the running config is probably in
/usr/local/etc/ssh/sshd_config.

Thanks for your reply Steven,
Still, I have installed the package from Sunfreeware, so sshd_config
lives in /usr/local/etc/ .
Even a
# find / -name sshd_config
only returns that one.
Any other ideas?

Perhaps the HUP methodology is broken for some reason. You could try
restarting it with the init script instead, e.g. /etc/init.d/sshd restart.
Anything appearing in the logfiles during the restart?

My mistake (!)
I ran pkill -HUP(wrong)
instead of either
kill -HUP
or
pkill -HUP sshd
Oh well...
Thanks for your responses guys, much appreciated.
