Hi Ray,
Not sure if this is exactly what you need, but here's an option.
Several people on this list have mentioned IPCop. I use it on my home
network with the AdvProxy Server, and URLFilter addons.
I know one of the two can be configured to require users to authenticate
before accessing the 'Net. (Plus a lot of other options)
The addons can also be configured to authenticate users against LDAP /
AD / Windows Domain / Radius, which is a nice way to administer large
groups of users.
More info can be found at www.ipcop.org
Hope this is helpful.
Cheers,
Bert
