How to Block Network browsing with UBUNTU Desktop.

[Matt Richards]

Iptables has a uid and gid match

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --match owner --uid-owner 503 --dport 80 -j DROP

thats how I would do it.

You might have a look at sabayon (and/or Pesselus):

sudo apt-get install sabayon
[will appear in 'System|Administration|User Profile Editor' after install]

http://www.gnome.org/projects/sabayon/
http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/sabayon

Brief pessulus example:
http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/05/27/how-to-lock-down-gnome/

sudo apt-get install pessulus
[will appear in 'System|Administration|Lockdown Editor' after install]

Note: on both you can lock down the panels etc., & if you don't want the
user to have access to firefox etc., just remove it from the panel for
that user.

and for firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3911

And an old but still useful info page:

and many more:

Oli has a blueprint to provide a better approach...
