iChat - How to disable all iChat but Rendezvous (internal) on the server?

[emacellis]

I am a teacher in a school. We have students that use laptops with iChat on it. I would like to disable iChat on the server so that only Rendezvous is enabled but external communication is not possible. We don't want the students/teachers using iChat to contact anyone outside of the school. Is this preference possible? I need to do this somehow with the server.

Block it at the FW (firewall) and you are done.

iChat and Firewalls

Perhaps this may help. It is an Apple Knowledge Base article about which ports iChat needs open to contact external users.

<edit> What I meant was that you can use this list to find out which ports to block at the firewall.</edit>
