Subject: User based routing?

Are there any patches floating around?
Basically to allow for example a server to dial out to ISP's on behalf
of users, and give them full control over that interface.
I know about UML, and it's not quite suited.
I've not found anything searching archives, but maybe it's out there.
Thanks.

Sounds like you're looking for masqdialer. It doesn't give full control
to users (why should it), but it allows users to select from multiple
ISPs.

Looking at it, it won't quite work.

I'm looking for a way to let users logged onto the server open
connections that they "own", that othere users can't use.

Not ways of connecting other machines over shared ppp/... links.

May be usefull for other things though, thanks.
