 Narendra,
 I think you need to spend some thoughts to set a definition of what a
 computer is, before going on to the definition of computer literate.
 :P

thank u :)

[ilugd] OpenSource Wifi hub security software

2009-02-11 Thread N S
Hi People...
One of my favorite coffee shops has free unsecured wifi access for all.

I have suggested them to have some way of access control-- like they have in
bangalore intl airport or hyd airport-- user gives some verifiable info and
gets a token/password-- in this case maybe from the cash-counter instead of
thru SMS.

I want to know--- what are the free/open source access control softwares for
wifi hubs like this ???

You know... that a person can fill a register on counter--- and get a
password--- and the name and password assigned+browsing history are stored.

Please do let me know...

Thanks and Best Regards,

NS

Many tools.  But I would highly recommend Fonera (www.fon.com).

Thanks Harish-- but what I'm specifically seeking is a software-only
solution-- that can run on a low end comp OR netbook attached to their wifi
router-- so that it selectively allows access.

Aint sure really if that sorta thing exists... but if it does; do tell me--
and if there're other ways to get this done, let me know.

Thanks in Anticipation and Best Regards,

N.S

I wish to help this coffee shop before someone misuses their wifi to harm
our nation.

google is your friend and those terms would help you track things down.

NoCatAuth and ChilliSpot has a bunch already.

Dear List,
To the best of my understanding, A computer literate is a person
atleast having knowledge  skill to operate and use computer 
softwares for accessing, (including modifying, processing, saving
data/ text/  files through respective softwares for wordprocessing,
presentation,  etc, playing audio, video etc), internet,  etc
irrespective of operating environment.

 Dear List:

 Jokes apart, is there any agreed definition of what constitutes a
 Computer Literate person? I know the definition can vary by context.
 More specifically I am looking for a definition which can fit the
 requirements of a modern enterprise executive who is in no way related
 to Computers and IT. Looking for curriculum which have been
 implemented, evaluation and quizes etc. Does it include exposure to
 FOSS ? I think ideally it should focus more on the required skills and
 more importantly is platform agnostic to the extent practical.

 One search led me to a credible link which I am studying
