[Adduser-devel] Bug#779880: adduser: deluser should delete users from AllowUsers field in sshd_config

[Eric Light]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.113+nmu3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

In trying to optimise SSH security, I've limited our incoming users with the AllowUsers field in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.

When running 'deluser test', the test user still exists as an entry in AllowUsers.

When deleting a user, it would be good if the deleted user entry were also deleted from this location.

Alternatively, if the AllowUsers field appears to be in use, a warning message after the deletion of the user, to remind the system administrator to tidy up sshd_config.  :)

Thanks,
Eric
