You can use something like scponly, to keep anyone who steals the key |
| 8 |
from getting shell access to your firewall: |

You could also limit where logins come from via AllowUsers in your |
| 13 |
sshd config. |

I had thought OpenSSH had some facility built in for limiting what |
| 16 |
particular users could do (so you could create an account that can |
| 17 |
only be used for sftp transfers, and sshd would not allow that user to |
| 18 |
get a tty or shell), but I can't seem to find anything about that in |
| 19 |
the man page, so I may just be imagining this feature. |
