Hi Chris, I had a similar problem with a customer and solved it as followes: - I installed Samba and restricted the use to the internal machines - the two icons simply write "START" or "STOP" to a file exported via Samba, thus representing the user request - a cron-script (running once a minute) determines the current connection state to the internet as well as the current user-request; if these do not match, dial-in or logout resp. is triggered Hope this hint is helpful to solve your problem.

Hi folks,
I have a Linux server which serves as an Internet gateway for a 5 PC = (Win9X) network. Everything works find so far and SuSEFirewall is also operating nicely. The problem is the following: The main user of the network wants to have 2 icons on his desktop = (Win9X) such that: By double clicking the first one, the LinuxBox dials-in the internet and = the 2nd logs him out. Any good ideas about this?? The current installation of the Linux Box is a 7.2 SuSE out-of-the-box = installation.
Thanx friends.
Chris
