It seems that I am not able to make it clear, let me try again, just assume as how a use enters a cybecafe and then get access to net i.e say a user comes in at 8.00PM he gets a username and a password another comes in at 8.14PM he also gets a username and a password and so on..... while suppose everybody asks for 1hr net surfing then after 1hr their account should be lapsed and they wont be able to surf further. 1)while writing an acl wont solve the problem as every time i need to write an acl based on every new time a user comes in at and the block its username after the specified time period in all it is not providing me flexibility to set the rules. 2)every time i need to reload squid to get my acls read by it. 3)every time new username and password has to be generated. acl and iptable along with radius, I could not understand the idea though or may be either of us is not clear what I wnat to say, if this is the case please let me know so that I will try to re-explain it. regards, Bimal _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
