Thread: using ssh for network authentication

using ssh for network authentication

From

OK, I saw in the admin guide about how to do port redirection using
ssh.  I even got it working.  My question now is how to prevent any
network connections to my server via port 5432 and make sure they all
come through my sshd.

The thing I usually do for this kind of protection is setup the machine's firewall, under Linux (just a matter of a new
ipchains/ipfwadmsmall set of rules). I would also change Postrgres's pg_hba.conf file. It might be easy to deny all
directaccess to Postgres port 5432 using it.
