Simple application using pam to control ssh connections. Will show confirmation dialog and notification with sound and led indication when new incoming connection estabilishing.
Contains settings (System -> Security -> SSH) with simple options.

Pam remote host value may contain hostname or ip depends on your network/ssh/dns configuration, so it's allowed to write anything to whitelist config and user responsible to control this himself.

This is awesome. I'm glad it's fairly easy to do this on the Jolla. (V.s., for example, the N900, where the work to set this up would likely be much greater, since by default I don't believe there's any sort of PAM support whatsoever.)

There is should be pam in N900, as N9 also using /etc/pam.d/sshd. You can do exactly same on your N900, just replace QGuiApplication and Sailfish parts.

Seems to not work with my build of openssh, work for me he he.

what matter of openssh difference? it does nothing with pam. check systemctl --user status ssh-pam-access-control

nemo@Jolla]$ systemctl --user status ssh-pam-access-control

it's absolutely original. do you installed latest 0.2.0 version? can you stop service and start ssh-pam-access-daemon in terminal, try connect to phone via ssh and give me terminal output?

Yes, latest version installed.
Stopped service, and started again. Service running.
ssh acts as normal, ssh nemo@x.x.x.x from PC asks for password and connects.
But, no notifications on Jolla, nor asking for permissions.

i mean stop servicce and start process in terminal to get debug output.
