Philip, thanks for your reply. I greatly appreciate it. You said,
If you don't like the connections a program makes, then configure it not
to do so. If you can't do that, then don't run such a bad program.

A lot of people want to have a log of the outgoing internet connections of
Nick, the package is called acct all by itself.
IMHO it will not solve the problem you are facing. I have tried it and it is
not user-friendly compared to what you are used to. I have watched numerous
people go back to Windows largely because of user frustration/inability to

Seems to be 2 separate issues in this thread:
1) Our system logging for firewall issues only logs PIDs via iptables
with no program name. Given other applications like netstat and nethogs
can do this, I think it's something we should try and work with upstream
to address. (my $0.02)
2) Users
Yes, good insights, Robbie.
Just to be clear, I'm not asking that an application-firewall (as Jason Todd
was speaking of) be created to solve this problem. I'm totally fine with a
solution that doesn't involve a
firewall. It's just that an application firewall allows me to solve this
