Routes have nothing to do with media layer information. You can, however, hard-code ARP entries [using arp(8)] so that the IP-to-MAC mapping isn't picked up dynamically from their traffic. You should also, in my opinion, consider non-technical solutions, like terminating these people's accounts, firing them, failing them in your course, slapping their wrists with #6 linguine, whatever's appropriate in your environment. Be well. -- "Don't tug on that...you never know what it might be attatched to." -- _Buckaroo Banzai_ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
