[CentOS] Free and Robust Hotspot Management Software ?
Dear all, Could anybody give me some recommended open source software for wifi management? What I am looking for is a simple and basic tools, for example the software will have these kind of features : - user connect to the wifi network - user got IP from DHCP but he can't browse to anywhere at first. Instead he will redirected to a "login page" - administrator will set the username and password (e.g : user1, password ; user2, password2) - if needed, the username will be enabled and be given to the user - if unused, the username will simply be disabled so no authenticated user could connect eventhough they remember the password. - I don't need the billing system just the administration tools. I already googled and found chillispot, but it seemed to be an overkill software. Are there anything simpler than chillispot? Thanks.

Coming with 2.0 is a function to pre-generate "vouchers". Nothing to do with CentOS, but the software is cool and free ;-) Rainer ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
