No hotspot functions in the free and open source version of Endian
 
 - FreeBSD-based solution: pfSense (see Captive Portal) - 
 http://www.pfsense.org/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=40Itemid=43

This works well...

you could try pfSense.
http://www.pfsense.org

They have a captive portal mode.

Coming with 2.0 is a function to pre-generate vouchers.


Nothing to do with CentOS, but the software is cool and free ;-)

 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?


I don't know if it is still being supported or if there are better 
alternatives, but nocat.net used to have something like this.

They're called Captive Portals:

That page lists a few of them.
