We're trying to set up an Internet gateway (ADSL) for an establishment that needs to be able to track who is generating the traffic.
The Network runs on DHCP, so users will not a fixed IP address that can be associated with a location. So we have to do it either through : a solution that allows each location to be connected to an independently addressible port on a piece of hardware (preferably a cheap one) somewhere; the port is physically connected to a known location, ensuring the IP's location can be identified; or a software solution; several have been proposed: HTTP redirection using a recompiled version of apache running as root; the first time a user tries any website they get an authentication page. using a user program (or manual log-in via a web page and scripting) to edit the firewall dynamically and open ports (Sorry if the explanations here are not clear - I'm not the Linux expert, just the project manager) Does anyone have any other ideas - simpler ones would be good.
