Topic: require a login to access the internet

[Craig Jensen]

With SME 5.6, as server-gateway dedicated, is anyone aware of a method of requiring client machines to authenticate through a login to access the internet through the SME server-gateway?

Thank you Bill.

Anyone looking for similar there is another implementation at:

The expaination of thiis one (http://e-smith.dyndns.org/) does not tell much, but looking at the source, they appear to accomplish the same task... requiring authorization for users to access the external web interfaces.  Does this sound correct?
