I want some users can only be logged when from the LAN and not from the internet while
other users should be able to log from the internet.

Off the top of my head, you could modify the authentication script in the
server component to check the source IP address, and simply deny access at
that point, recompile, and away you go - which shouldn't be too hard.

There may be a way of doing it without changing the source code, but it's
not an area I've played with personally. If there is, I'm sure that someone
else will point it out to us. Smile

Cheers

Adam.

David,

There really is no way to do so on a per-user basis without modifying the
server source code.  You can authorize/deauthorize specific IP addresses for
the entire server, but not per-user.
