Hello,
Thanks for those links...

I've tried a couple of firewalls windows and linux based ones...
ISA server,Kerio Winroute and Endian firewall.

But,what I exactly need is this...
Whenever a user on the LAN starts to browse,he should be redirected to a webpage requesting for credentials to maintain records.(This is something like what is in most wifi hotspots).
I need an exact implementation.
Endian firewall has it...but not in the free version unfortunately :(
So,what would be my next best option?
Thanks so much

even Endian firewall uses squid....
But then I thought squid does not support transparent proxy with authentication?

Websense is cool....but then unfortunately its not free :-(
I'm looking for some open source stuff to manage the network users.

Thanks for the time...The ultimate solution was zeroshell.

The solution was in pfsense,monowall and zeroshell out of which I chose zeroshell for my implementation.

SQUID is just too low level i feel as I'm new to using Linux ...and I think SQUID is only commandline based...?

I assume most of these Firewall Linux distro's use SQUID underneath

Thanks anyway
