    You could code something like this yourself. The /etc/sudoers file would be a great resource, but I think fundamentally what you are looking for is: http://www.nufw.org/

    It adds user based authentication to IPtables rules. So only after a user has authenticated will they be able to get past your firewall.

  2. You can also use the .bashrc or .bash_profile files in the home folder of the user.

    Every time a user logs in, bash (if in use) will read those files (don't know the order).

    You can place your iptables rules there. Every user has it's own.
