Hopefully a simple question.....

I'm trying to figger-out how I can lock my server against unauthorized
use on a *user* basis.  Locking out a host is easy, but can I
allow access from a specific logon on a host?  

X(1) and xauth(1) seem to imply that you can, however I see no provision
(in xauth) to allow say joe@foo.bar to connect to smith's server on
foobar.bar.

What am I missing?  Can someone explain how? (if it is possible...)

(BTW:  Thanks to the netters who made things like "scrawl" and "xufo"
       available to the students of the world....  ;-)
Best,
