the sshd_config setting of (PasswordAuthentication no ) should not
affect fl_tt. It was only put into the docs to prevent kids from being
able to brute force the root password on the clients since they are
running sshd.

That's great to hear. I have not tried iTalc but last I checked it did
not have internet blocking.

Does everything work including internet access blocking? I forgot to
mention, I have only tried Internet access blocking with the standard
2 nic setup. Not sure if it will work with a 1 nic setup.

If you get that iptables error again try closing fl_tt and starting it
up again. If you manually killed fl_tt then try starting it and
closing it to reset the firewall settings.
