You probably won't be able to do this with ipfw(8) and the traffic shaper alone, because you want to restrict bandwidth by user or group. Most traffic filters/shapers work at the IP level. They have no notion of users or groups, nor should they. HOW do you actually want to restrict the bandwidth? For a shell? You'll need to tell us more about your situation and what you want to accomplish. There may be an easier way to do what you set out to. Shooting in the dark, here: As a general approach, maybe you could try setting up a couple of network interfaces--and you can probably accomplish this on a single machine. Give staff/specific users a different hostname to connect to than normal users, and bind different login servers to each address. Allow only staff to log in to one, and do not limit incoming/outgoing traffic to/from that host. Give normal users access to the other host, but limit bandwidth on that address as you see fit. > Regards, > > Jason Terlecki > > . > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This email server is running an evaluation copy of the MailShield anti- > spam software.
