We have a Linux based firewall setup, and we restrict access to the
user's NT User name.
We do this by having a small utility run as part of the user's login
(done in the NT policy), and this connects to the firewall, which then
compares them against a file of known permitted users. If they are in
there, it then issues the relevent commands to open up the required
ports.
As a bonus, it logs every attempt, so we can see which user's are
logging in to what PC's, and when - something that we can't find out how
to do with NT.

Subject: machine names
I am looking for a way to restrict machine names on our network.
Possibly restrict who is able to access the dhcp server. In effect
limiting who is able to use tcp/ip on the network without statically
assigning an ip.
Is it possible to filter traffic based upon the machine name that is
assigned to a microsoft based client?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Matt Farwell
