Hi,

You need to run the ssh daemon thru inetd. Do the following:

1- Stop the ssh daemon

2- Make sure it won't start on machine startup by
editing /etc/rc.config.d/sshd

   Change SSHD_START=1 to 0

3- Modify /etc/inetd.conf to enable ssh. You must use the "-i" switch in order
to allow it to run thru inetd. I have the following line on my inetd.conf

ssh stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/sshd sshd -i

4- Modify /var/adm/inetd.sec accordingly. Something like:
ssh allow 172.16.0.10

etc...

Now you can get the ip filtering benefits provided by inetd.

Of course, this is one scenario. You can still use IPFILTER if you want (and
keep running SSHD stand-alone).

HTH,
Jorge
