Why use hosts.allow? If it's only ssh accessible it should be safe to open up and just require authentication.

Alternatively, if you want people to be able to ssh in from all wireless UNC addresses, use

.wireless.unc.edu

Again, because it's ssh, they'll still have to authenticate once they connect.

Question:

I have a linux project server that I have set too be accessible only by
SSH. It is static IP'ed so if anyone wants to get access within the
department subnet, I have to add their IP to the hosts.allow file. However,
I also want wireless users to be able to access the project server files
as well and being that the wireless network is dhcp, I'm not sure as to
how to go about this. If I try to access the server via wireless, I do
get a contact registered from both the host and the client but then I
get a "ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host" on
the client and on the server security logs, it comes up as a dhcp
wireless client denied. Is there a way to do this so that folks that use
wireless in my building can get access?, thxs.
