Restrict login by name and IP address

I do something similar by having in /etc/profile a section which uses
[ol]
[li]$LOGNAME to find out who the user is[/li]
[li][[ $(ps -p $PPID|awk 'NR==2 {print $4}') = telnetd ]] to check for telnet access (I'm not interested in ssh or su)[/li]
[li]'who' to check for the source IP Address - but you have to pin this one down using the tty command[/li]
[/ol]
And only if the relevant conditions are met are they allowed to log in.
