Linux Firewalling

[fsckoff2]

Sorry... didn't really find an appropriate forum heading for this post. Mods, please move if necessary!!!

We're using a firewall called IPtables to restrict access once authenticated on our gateway.

Having problems terminating established connections upon logout.

Does anyone know a way that we can terminate established connections upon logout, without having lag in the re-login process?
(ex. User 1 kills connection by mistake [using pop under to keep users authenticated] and then wants to re-login again at gateway?)

We need to find a way to kill all established connections to a certain MAC or IP based on when they are logged out of the firewall.

Thanks,
-John

you would probably want a perl script or something that runs on a cron job to do your clean up...that would help with what you need.

could you be more specific?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by terminating the connections. Are you wanting to automatically terminate all connections a certain IP address has when it logs out of a system?
