Hello All,

I'm a bit of a FreeBSD convert after using Linux for years, so I'm a bit
unclear of the capabilities of FreeBSD in some circumstances.

A feature of Linux 2.4 is that you can route/firewall/filter based on
the username.

For example, if I log in as 'andrew' to my machine, I get to go out to
the wide-world via the Microwave link with no restrictions. If I log on
as 'someotheruser' I'm shunted out a modem link.

My question:

Can FreeBSD route based on a username?
Will IPFW/IPF filter based on username?

Obviously, this is only going to work if the user is logged onto the
local workstation.

Can someone please clarify this for me?

TIA!

   - andrew
