Hello,

    Has anyone used IPtables? I've been playing around with it for the past
few days and have had some problems. I've read the FAQs, HOWTOs, and other
docs but have not yet found the answer. I also tried asking the netfilter
mailing list but they couldn't come up with a clear answer.

    I'm trying to deactivate internal LAN subscribers after a cut-off time
through a script, by invoking:

# iptables -D POSTROUTING -o $INET_IFACE -s $IP/32 -j \
    SNAT --to $INET_ADDRESS

    This will prevent internal clients from accessing the Internet. However,
certain connections such as ICQ and iMesh are still alive. I have not yet
found a simple/elegant way to kill these connections. I can not unload the
ip_conntrack module because there are other IPs within the internal LAN that
will need to be able to access the Internet after the cut-off time.

    Anything I'm missing here? Thank you. :-)
