Bug#217495: ITP: nocatsplash -- captive portal system



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : nocatsplash
  Version         : 0.0.0.${date}snapshot
  Upstream Author : Schuyler Erle <schuyler@nocat.net>
* URL             : http://nocat.net/download/NoCatSplash/

  Description     : captive portal system

 NoCatSplash is an open public network gateway daemon.  It performs as a
 captive portal, also called an "open" or "active" portal.  When run on a
 gateway or router on a network, NoCatSplash causes all web requests to be
 redirected to a "splash page," where users must log in or (for example)
 agree to an usage policy.
 .
 The gateway daemon uses ipchains or iptables to set firewall rules to
 control the flow of traffic, based on IP and MAC addresses.
 .
 NoCatSplash is the successor of NoCatAuth, and is designed to be smaller
 and work better on embedded-style devices.


The upstream author of this software has been contacted; I am waiting
for a reply before beginning serious packaging work.
