Why do the users need accounts on these machines? Are the connecting via VNC or NX? Perhaps a better question is what are the users doing with these two boxes? > want to be able to separate internet traffic so that any new users will > only have the ability to go out on certain ports (To prevent abuse). iptables has this ability for users who are logged in locally, that is directly using the linux box. > (They connect to the network from home with some kind of Windows > software, still undecided on this). I may not be explaining it in the OpenVPN? It runs on various *NIXs (Solaris, the BSDs, Linux) and win2k+ Also NX (commercial varient is provided by www.nomachine.com, open source varient is usually called freeNX) is similar to terminal server/Citrix in the windows world, it runs on top of ssh so it can easily be tunneled through a firewall. The NX client is provided free of charge from www.nomachine.com > right way and if you don't go ahead and pick my brain I'll try to > explain it as best I can. > > Does such a piece of software or series of applications exist? > The likely answer is yes, though perhaps a better place to start is with the intended application of these machines, solutions should follow from there.
