With all the issues with wireless security, I decided that the best solution was to keep the wireless network completely separate, with its own DHCP server. I use IPCop for our firewall and this provides a green interface for our LAN and a blue interface for our wireless LAN and provides DHCP for our wireless network, leaving the LTSP server providing DHCP for the LAN. You can choose to allow access from the wireless network to your lan, or permit individual clients, or just block everything and insist that your wireless clients use openvpn to connect. The latter is the method I have chosen, and it works well. With the addition of Advanced Proxy and URL Filter, the IPCop server also provides web filtering, with identd running on the LTSP server it even logs users' Internet use, without them having to authenticate on the proxy server. Seems to all work well. -- Chris Roberts +------------------+--------------------------+ | Distribution | Debian Lenny | | LTSP Version | 5.1.90-1 | | LDM Version | 2.0.48-1 | | Windows Manager | KDE 3.5.10 | | Kernel | 2.6.26-bpo.1-686 | +------------------+--------------------------+ | Distribution | Debian Lenny | | LTSP Version | 5.1.85-1 | | LDM Version | 2.0.45-1 | | Windows Manager | KDE 3.5.10 | | Kernel | 2.6.26-2-686 | +------------------+--------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Join us December 9, 2009 for the Red Hat Virtual Experience, a free event focused on virtualization and cloud computing.
