Password protect internet access?


Is there a way to password protect internet access?

Simply don't want the machine to be able to get on the internet unless the user supplies a password.

Also don't want the folks who will be permitted to use the net to have root password.

Only one user account, I want it so that when someone attempts to access the net they are prompted for a password, if they can't supply it, then they are denied.

you can use a proxy server like squid. Here is a link that will give you the basics of configuring squid.

Here is another link about restricting internet access using passwords

Squid Auth config - http://www.devet.org/squid/proxy_auth/

You can download squid from www.squidcache.org
