Best response is to engage and try to find out why. However, I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to use the kind of access control that gets used on commercial or courtesy wifi systems where all requests get redirected to a local server until the user authenticates the machine (usually via a web browser to make payment or agree to T&Cs). It does still have all the issues like background connections (software updates, NTP etc.), but this is protocol agnostic so far as I know. Look up captive portals (e.g. wifidog), note I've never done this. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
