- ok my knowledge of winz is extremely rudimentary, but cant we lock
them into booting into SAMBA at boot (user name/passwd) ?
I think you can use username/password authentication in squid which has a timeout after a period of time. However you will need to change the password once the hour is up, so that he cant use the username/password again. Also transparent proxy dosent work in this case. You will have to set the browsers to use squid with the IP and port. http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-23.html
Something like this ------ auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/pam_auth auth_param basic children 5 auth_param basic realm Squid Proxy-Caching Web Server auth_param basic credentialsttl 1 hours acl authenticated proxy_auth REQUIRED ------
I dont remember since I had done this just one some time ago. But it works...
