Does anyone know if there's a way to control packet flow based on the attributes of the process trying to transmit the packet (i.e., "don't allow Acrobat Reader to send any network packets anywhere?")

SELinux can do that sort of thing quite easily. Well, as easily as SELinux does anything, I guess...

That tid not quite work, perhaps it works for other or you need some extension - I'm not an expert.

Anyhow, the idea is to send all output from the command "acroread" to the DROP chain, which would cause you timeouts, I'd rather just send it to REJECT (-j REJECT) or if you're wondering, why not use a logged chain of your own? :)
