We are currnetly moving our BBS (www.arbornet.org) from BSD/OS to FreeBSD. One of the limits we placed on users was that they were not allowed to send outbound Internet traffic (ie, they could not telnet out from our system, etc). Under BSD/OS (3.0) the kernel had been patched and checked for a hard-coded list of groups (paying users had access, special binaries like finger too). But I have heard that under FreeBSD, limiting like this is is run-time configurable. How does this work?
