Re: Software for WLAN Hotspot
I have a similar problem: ethernet socket in a public acxcessible area. This means that anyone can just plug his PC and get an address. We want to limit the possibility to exit from the network only to authorized people. The way we did was by assigning private address and then asking the user to log in a web page with username and password. on the gateway machine each internal address is masquareaded into a public address for a certain interval of time. This way is not necessary for the user to set any proxy [incidentally: setting one lock out the machine !] so anyone can plug in and then after logging use the net. I think this should be perfect for your use. Il 15 Aug 2003 alle 11:55, Alex Borges immise in rete: The new buzzword for solutions to the wifi solution provider is VBN or visitor based networking.

Re: Software for WLAN Hotspot -- pam_iptables
Hi! I just happened to be doing some work with PAM today and then glanced over here at the Debian ISP mailing list. There is actually a pam_iptables module. Maybe it will be useful for this subject. Check it out; http://www.itlab.musc.edu/~nathan/authentication_gateway/ http://www.itlab.musc.edu/~nathan/pam_iptables/ Leonardo Boselli wrote: I have a similar problem: ethernet socket in a public acxcessible area.
