Then why did the other poster (see above) make that stupid comment? It's one or the other, and either way I'm right -- either lockdown the IP or you have an insecure OS. I said both these things, and every time I say one someone contradicts me with the other. Stop it. -- Satya. http://www.thesatya.com/ 2 + 2 = 5 for extremely large values of 2.

Cyber Cafe

>I am also helping a friend of mine to setup a cyber cafe, they want >users to be disconnected after an hour's usage. Squid does not have this >feature to best of my hacking. Any thought on how to impliment this? The best way to do this is to use IPtables to block the specific client ip after a certain interval of time. As far as someone changing ip on windows machine use dhcpd to alocate a specific ip to specific mac address. Derwyn

HA ha. We are still waiting for the cyber cafe's wish list. At least the ones in Mumbai must be too busy counting cash and pirating the next game / movie to worry about piddling legal niceites. > Think of the STD/ PCO > booth .

BTW the original billing m/c was mass produced by ex cricketer Brijesh Patel's company in B'lore and had a near monopoly at one time. It was designed by ITI mnakapur (AFAIR). > Sam Pitroda & co can take their > credit but only the native vendors push with their crude but yet What is crude about it?. The specs are simple and permits a simple design. > adaptible time keeping machine made the PCO booth business sell > like hot cake ! Why can't this happen with Internet ? My dear friend surfing the internet involves far too many complex technology bits too enumerate here. But if you scaled the cost of an ISD call (1200 bytes / s * Rs.0.33 * 60 sec = Rs.20) to that of an internet page (30Kbyte / 1200 * 0.33) you would be paying Rs.8.25 per page. So technology has simplified things to the point where costs and complexity (click to connect) have reduced to negligible levels. This arg is ofcourse a bit oversimplified but valid nonetheless. So please do read up a little before comparisons. > >- i (foolishly?) told him that linux will > >liberate him Have u specified the problem? (or rather i have not understood the problem although i am following this thread). dhcp (leases) + bootp + Remote desktop + diskless client - windoze + employee policy Basically redistribution of costs from individual machines to the server. GNU/Linux truly liberates. rgds jtd
