Authentication with iptables?

[Alex]

you can filter by MAC-address which I guess would be a way of identifying each
machine uniquely (unless they switch NIC's of course). Or do you mean
authenticate users like Secure Remote does ? In this case I have no clue but
would also be intereseted to know.
