I was thinking of an similar setup in my home.
The WLAN would be wide open, but you could only connect to the OpenBSD server. When you want to connect to the rest of the LAN or the internet you would have to login on an VPN. This would create an ecryption layer for all the network traffic and you have authentication.

Maybe a similar setup would work for you, but I'm not sure about the security of this setup.
I would have to do a little more research.

I am looking for ways to Authenticate Wireless users(Windows Xp , Mac

the way i understand it if I use authpf that requires a user to
maintain a SSH session.

is there some reasonably secure solution(for an Exclusively OpenBSD
4.0  on the back end network) that would maybe allow users to login
via a web page portal? LDAP RADIUS maybe?


and a side note Does anyone know is Trunk(4) supports wireless cards
running in hostap mode?
example Failover or loadbalance maybe?

I am Looking for Suggestions
