hi using squid version 2.5STABLE9, debian sarge testing. i want to limit my internet users if they are in specific groups to have a certain number of hours per day so if a user logs on at 8 in the morning they may have if they log on to the staff group 4 hours, if they are a part of the volunteer group they may be limited to 1 hour of total internet per day so even if they use the net for 30 minutes from 9 until 9:30 and then log off come back and log on again at 11, they will only have 30 minutes left of internet usage. i saw the post about authpf but i can not find a debian package nor anything on the system to suggest that the shell is available. are there other packages i could use or a way to do this using acls or some such? thanks Jack -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
