David, good question. I had understood /etc/hosts.allow only as a way
to define a selection, and so left it empty for the server, for it
should allow any host to access.
However, I now discover that I have ALL: LOCAL on the client
machine. No idea why I put it there. I fear that this might in fact
prevent the kind of non-local ssh connections that I'm having
difficulties with. Is that so?
That ALL: LOCAL entry is there by default. I don't know much about this
myself, but
man hosts.allow
will give you all the details you want.
Cheers,
David
