I have many samba users who login to the domain and i would like to restrict them from using the internet at specific times. The squid ACL's have option to match the username, is there anything that can match a unix or a windows group? so, that i can put some users in a particular group and use that in squid ACL?? The other option is to use "src IP", I am running DHCP on the same server which servers the whole network, which includes the samba clients, LTSP clients and other clients which don't use either LTSP or Samba.. so i cannot use the src IP option. I am sorry if this is bugging Avinash
