David, I don't know where authd is hosted, but you could rebuild the authd source RPM after downloading it from Fedora's mirrors. IIRC, authd plugs into xinetd.
No, I'm not using transparent proxy mode. Instead, I firewall the forwarding of certain ports including 80 and 443. To make things easier, I setup automatic proxy configuration. On the terminal server, I had to re-configure Firefox to default to the proxy (which I documented in the LTSP wiki). This proxy setup works OK with most programs. (In the past, Quickbooks and Windows Updates had some problems, but everything is OK now.) Andrew David Heinzerling wrote: > Thanks Andrew, > We are using SUSE 10.1 on similar hardware.
