[Ltsp-discuss] Limiting internet usage for someusers

[Fatih ER <fa...@er...>]

Hi there,

I'm using LTSP for 4 years now.. Last month I've updated to ubuntu 11.04 and changed some infrastructure of my network. Right now I've an Untangle Gateway as a firewall. Also I use untangle to manage all my clients' internet usage in my network (Windows, Linux and Mac Os X). It's IP based and some users have full internet usage rights, some users have a web-filtered usage rights and some users have time-based internet usage rights. Everything is well under untangle. My problem starts with LTSP Server. 

I've changed my old LTSP Server Topology from 2 NIC to 1 NIC and changed dhcpd.conf file to include all my Linux ThinClients to have Fixed IP addresses. By that way I was planning to limit ThinClient users' internet usage. But as I see right now they all use the LTSP Server's IP (NAT is in work I guess). When I use #ifconfig command in any of thin-client's terminal i get the IP and MAC Address of Server.

Is there a way to do what I desire? Because I don't want to mess with IPtables and other stuffs with my little linux knowledge..

Thanks for your attention..
