Re: [SLE] Restrict Users from Internet access

I shut down my always-on ASDL connection regularly.
To close down a specific interface such as eth0, run
/sbin/ifdown eth0
and to bring it up again run
/sbin/ifup eth0
Both need to be done as root. It is best to use sudo to run them.
Sudo allows a specific user to run certain defined ( in /etc/sudoers ) scripts
or programs as root ( or any other defined user ).
For details read the man pages sudo and sudoers.
I further alias the commands to 'netdown' and 'netup' in my $HOME/.bashrc file
alias netup='sudo /sbin/ifup eth0'
alias netdown='sudo /sbin/ifdown eth0'
Hope this helps
