could you add this feature or discuss it at 13.04 Developer Summit?

[Nicolas Michel]

Brian,

Continuing to search, I found the exact app you were searching for and the
last version is pretty recent (feb 2012) :
http://sourceforge.net/projects/leopardflower/files/

It logs access and can restrict app access to the network. But I never
tryied it.

Regards,
Nicolas
