Description of problem:
Added the following to my /etc/ssh/sshd_config :
  #echo "AllowGroups sshok" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Added the following to my groups:
  #gpasswd -a eric sshok

(even removed the entry and tried with "groupadd" - same results)

Restarted the service:
  #/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd restart

Tried to login, met with failure - see output below:

  #tail -3 /var/log/secure
  Oct  4 22:14:03 stanz sshd[2763]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0
failed: Address already in use.
  Oct  4 22:14:12 stanz sshd[2766]: User eric not allowed because none
of user's groups are listed in AllowGroups
  Oct  4 22:14:16 stanz sshd[2766]: Failed unknown for invalid user
eric from ::ffff:192.168.11.22 port 1843 ssh2

  #grep eric /etc/group
  eric:x:500:
  sshok:x:501:eric

  #grep eric /etc/group
  eric:x:500:500:Eric Barry:/home/eric:/bin/bash

  /etc/nsswitch.conf is the default (all files)


If I comment out the AllowGroups option, it works fine and there is
nothing written to the logs...
