What about using a transparent squid proxy? Squid supports a tonne of authentication methods. If you put squid as people's default gateway then you can transparently redirect all web requests through squid, if they hadn't authenticated then you could have an authentication box pop up or redirect them to an authentication webpage if you prefer. Not sure of your topology so this may not be a suitable solution (I know it's not quite what you asked for). -- Fraser Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.wehave.net/ Georgetown, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux
