Using Linux as database for form

It doesn't need to be that complicated. We have a logon script here that runs when users log on to the network. Each client has a copy of the logon script and a program that displays the warning message. When the logon script is executed, the warning program is invoked. When the user clicks "cancel" the logon ends. When they click "ok", the logon continues and a script is run (invoked on the server) that updates a simple Access DB on the server.

please excuse my english,
you can do a logon script for each user that loging in your NTdomain ant put here the address of your linux box where is your agreement page with subscription.To linux you just use a litle PHP script as backend of a form that put(insert) the data colected from form in your database(i think you can use mysql in conjunction with PHP == is powerfull and cheap solution).This is my point.

Hi,

You can use this as another option, or
solution at the problem. In first place you can
install a Linux box with a firewall based in
ipchains so you can protect de inbound and
outbound net work traffic. Set up a proxy server
(as another service at the same box), this has
the advantage that you can set the script of
agreement and leave it as you have it now, but
you can use NT security authentication method to
grant the access to the internet, and by the
same way have access control lists of the sites
of the web. This is very simple to do cause
these lists are text files at the linux box, the
authentication program and the proxy can be
public domain software like squid.

The sites where you can findrelated info are :
