Today's project was to setup a Hotspot server.
The best solution i came up with was to set up EasyHotspot. It runs on linux and only need a pc with2 Ethernet interfaces, the requieriments are pretty low, actualy the whole system has it's own distro based on ubuntu 9.04, so it can't be more simple to install.
It Features:
Multiple users supported by MySQL Database.
A Cashier system that automate the charging on the client.
A vert user friendly interface that can be personalized with your custom homepage.
You always can check their blog to see more diagrams of how it works.
The only trouble i came up with is that you need to have a valid CA Certificate to put on your server. But its easy to avoid this, replacing the login page that came with SSL, to a login page that it's handled by php, the procedure can be found on their forum.
Great way to charge your neighbours for a shared Wi-Fi.
