Restricting access to SSH

“

We'll see how we can restrict the amount of users that are able to even use SSH to get in and specifically look at the root user account and how we can protect that. We'll also cover one extra technology called TCP wrappers, which are on the exam, not used so much in real life land anymore, but still a useful thing to learn, especially as you get ready…
