A linux firewall will do nicely there. At the lowest-level this can relatively easily be implemented using iptables. Or if you're not comfortable with that there are quite a few front-ends to iptables (ferm & shorewall springs to mind, no doubt there are others) > B) Log ( capture ) the username That'll be the difficult bit. Capturing the IP address is easy, but finding out *who* is logged in is more difficult. That will be an exercise in itself (=outside my expertise...). What OS are the clients running?

You could run a web cache (e.g. squid) on the firewall; this will do the necessary logging for you (as well as improve overall web performance). And you can do blocking in here as well. This can easily be daisy-chained with other proxies that provide more specialised web site blocking. > C) Report this information. Geek-translation: "Make something pretty out of the logs". I guess that the "sarg" package could do the job here.
