Probably what you need is to block outgoing ports at certain times for certain clients, if I correctly translated the above mentioned. In the absence of better tools, you can look at these examples: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/CRON http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Iptables#Block_outgoing_SMTP_traffic_except_from_specified_hosts I leave it to you to find which ports are in the game. poma -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
