Restrict SSH Access to Specific IP for User

Question

My /etc/ssh/sshd_config file has a line like:

AllowUsers [email protected]

If I want to allow jim to use another IP addresses, how do I specify it?

Does it take the form of a comma separated list? Or, do add a similar line like

AllowUsers jim@new-ip-address

?

The manapage is pretty clear on this: "This keyword can be followed by a list of user name patterns, separated by spaces." — Celada, Mar 2, 2013 at 1:22

I would do

AllowUsers [email protected] [email protected]

OR

AllowUsers [email protected].*

should work, that is if you are internal and he has a dynamic ip.

I have similar Error. I want root to login to any IP, I want user1 to login from specific ip for example 1.2.3.4 and I want all other users to login from any IP. How do I do this?

@AdarshSojitra you don't want a remote access for the user root.
