LTSP INTERNET RESTRICTION / ACCESS CONTROL: I WOULD LIKE LTSP.ORG /
DEVELOPER TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A CRITICAL / ESSENTIAL FEATURE SPECIALLY IN A NETWORKED COLLEGE / SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT.
Shouting (ie using all upper case) and posting multiple times is unlikely to help get a response.
I want to give Internet access to some LTSP CLients based on their NIC/MAC address. Please give a solution to do this using Gateway and Domain-Name-Servers.
Using LTSP, all programs (including the web browser) run *on the server* and not on each desktop box. The result, as you've seen, is that all internet access appears to be from the server.
If you really want to be able to control internet access by mac address, you need to run the web browser on each desktop box. This is possible using LTSP, but not as easy and misses a lot of the reason to use LTSP in the first place.
The alternative is to run some kind of proxy/firewall that is based on the username rather than the mac address. I've not tried this myself, but I've seen it mentioned several times on this list. Try searching the archives for 'squid'.
