     Hi!!! I am currently working on an project that will require 
     me to do some authentication, audit, and accounting on both 
     dial up and LAN user's Internet usage in our University.
     
     For dial up we don't have much problem, there is the TACACS 
     and XTACACS that can be use for this purposes. But I am 
     having a problem when it comes to the LAN user. I need to 
     protect and prevent unauthorize users in the campus from 
     accessing the Internet.
     
     To do LAN user authentication and control, I am kind of 
     thinking may be a firewall or proxy may do the tricks.
     
     Something like the setup below:
     
     
     Internet ----- Router ------+---- Proxy ----- Internal LAN
                                 | 
                             Bastion Host
     
     The proxy should be able to do some authentication, and
     accounting on the user.
     
     Can anyone tell me where I can find such a proxy? or any 
     other software that may help me solve the problem?
     
     TACACS use the wtmp format of UNIX for saving accounting
     data(such as login and logout time, username... etc). I was
     hoping that the proxy will also be able to log user info
     in such a format for better management.
     
     Thanks in advance....
