Kelly, I think that with iptables you would have a fairly easy time of implementing this. I don't know the rules off hand, but just hit up the man pages or google up some docs. Admittidly, I've never sat down and used IRIX seriously (although I have hacked away at it in a few wargames) so this is coming from a Linux standpoint. Shouldn't be too different... BTW, IMO, IRIX isn't that great on security. If possible, you might tant to think about switching to a different *nix varient. Hope some of that helped.

All, I've got a machine running IRIX (SGI's Unix) and have a need to control access based on IP address. Similar to the way root can be restricted to logging in only at the console, is it possible to restrict logins by regular users to specific IP addresses? What I've got is a directory "ABC" and a user "Larry". I setup Larry to have ABC as his home directory. What I want to do is restrict Larry's login to a specific IP address so if he attempts a login from computer "123" it will succeed but if he tries from computer 456, it will fail. Any ideas? Thanks Keenan Smith
