Comment: dear friends,
I have more than 100 users in my local network.I want to use Linux firewall Internet sharing and also I want that only that person can access internet whose LAN Card's MAC address+IP adress is allowded.Also I have to use Antyvirus on this to block the viruses to my local network.I have search lot for this on net but didn't find anywhere.
Can anybody guide me how is this possible or give me the URL:// whr I can find appropriate
material.The MAC address issue is important this time.
Thanks,
Ravinder.

Reply: (edit)Are you using iptables? If yes, this may be useful - I just went to Google.com and did a search on: linux only "MAC address"
and found this
Linux Forum post that mentions this configuration: "iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.1.10 -m mac --mac-source ! 11:22:33:44:55:66 -j DROP"

Reply: (edit)Thanks gmoney,
It may work fine but situation is diffrent here
You give the command to block a particular host with ip+mac
I want to allow a particular host by ip+mac & all other denied.
How it can be possible.
I will be very thankful.
Ravinder
