You realize that while your patch may work, it won't stop them from
making connections out.  Telnet can go to port 22 just fine, and there's
probably nothing stopping your users from building their own copy of
ssh, or bringing their own binary.  If you _really_ want to stop
connections from going out to port 22 on those other interfaces, add
some drop rules to your iptables configuration--or better yet _secure
the hosts on those segments_.
