You can use "root preexec" and "root postexec" commands on
the 'home'
share to insert and delete firewall rules. I have used it with the
firewalling. You should be able to get it working with masquerading too.

Hi!

I set up a linux-samba server as a file-server for a Microsoft-network.
This works very well. Know I want to use the same pc as a gateway to the
internet. Since I dont't have registered IPs I use IP-mascerading. diald
establishes the connection automatically when a user tries to connect to
the internet (e.g. www). So far so good...
The only problem is that every Windows95 user can establish this
connection. I only want the users that are registered on the
linux-server to be able to do that.

For http and ftp access use a squid proxy. For other types of trafic use a
socks proxy. These will give authentication. Masqurading won't.

This isn't really a samba question, so I suggest you try the linux news
groups instead. You will find more expertiese on Linux there.
