how to restrict any user for ssh

[Johan Booysen]

Depending on what you're trying to achieve (and if I understand
correctly), you could use a nologin file, i.e.

"If the file /etc/nologin exists, login will allow access only to root.
Other users will be shown the contents of this file and their logins
will be politely refused."

Make sure you turn off other services that will allow a user to login.
Such as, telnet-server and the other remote shells rsh,remsh(solaris)
and rlogin.  These should already be off, due to their insecure nature.
