One way to do that is to redirect the client/connection to a webpage that asks for a user and password, which when validated inserts the client IP address / mac address as a dynamic rule in the firewall and some parallel control using crontab (or custom way) to delete the rule after an amount of time...
You can do this with squid + apache + php + postgresql + pf/ipfw... Just to start thinking on a complete solution.. ;-) []´s -- Rafael Mentz Aquino BSDServer Ltda. 51 - 9847 8825 ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Marwan Sultan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Sent: Mon, 24 Jul 2006 23:29:22 +0000 Subject: users based on time+ath (Please) > Hello gurus, > > Please, Please! if someone can help me, how to setup any an > accounts system based on time and auth > > I'm On FreeBSD 6.1R its acting as a internet gateway for a comlex > of 30 appartments. the internet to this box is connected thro a dsl > and its up/running, > > Well, We want to bill whoever sharing our internet connection on a > monthly bases so basically, I want to release internet access based > on time+auth. and to manage those users. > > I have been told to use squid. > as i know squid is a cache server? > > just, where to start to setup a system, that will force the user > to enter a user/password to connect to the internet? considering my > freebsd is the gateway? how to manage those users? any packages, > > what shall i do?
