hi..

i'm lokking for a solution.. i want to offer costumers timelimited access to
my wireless network... but how can i do that?

i was thinking about a radius server that the AP calls when auth. the
user.... but the user must be deleted after a certain time after first
connect (i.e. the costumer will be handed a random generated username and
password)

i run my own linux server and was wondering if there is a package that will
give me:

radius server
webpage to admin users and make random passwords/users
delete users after lets say 3 hours (must be setable when generating
user/password)


regards bo

Bo,

There are a number of options out there. What I need to know is the
following:

1) What do you use to do the webpage redirect?

2) How many users will you have online at a time (on average)

3) Have you already selected your wireless equipment.

Please feel free to contact me directly if you'd like.

yum install freeradius

configuring it is the doozy...

freeradius comes with various database connectors. I suspect one could
write some php and perl to achieve the above.
