Hi,

for proxies, you need to capture/contain their port. m0n0 need to have an option to redirect
traffic from unauthorised machines for a number of ports....eg 1080, 3128.

for other folks, if they do not have a valid MAC allow, then they should be captivated
anyway and will see the 'please login'/'please click yes' type page when they first 
browse the web
