I have a set of VMs, which have a network private to them, and then they each have a public IP. Is it possible to have a set of rules for the public IP (say no password authentication, non-standard port) and the have another set of rule for the private network (password authentication, port 22) for ssh?

This is on Ubuntu 10.04

It isn't necessary to configure a second instance for this. Check the "Match" keyword in the sshd_config manpage

Install/configure another instance of sshd to run under the different set of rules. Check out this link for hints.

    upvoting because this is on the right lines. No need to install twice though, just use two config files for sshd and use -f when launcing the server (twice).

  • I figured that this would probably be the way to have this work.

  • Thanks for the clarification, Sirex; +1 to you! I didn't think that it would be necessary to install a second instance, but I don't have a *nix box to try on. Changed "Install" to "Install/Configure"
