  Description     : Network registration to provide a MAC to IP to username mapping

Hi all,

I'm interested in providing a network registration package for Debian.
There are various "upstream" implementations, and I'm not sure there's a
"right" one for Debian.  Its likely that a Debian-specific package is
appropriate.  This package would mostly be some perl glue which
Recommends: webserver, dhcpd.  For the various upstream versions, try
googling for "netreg site:edu".

By the way, I'm not in a position to implement this right now, so its a
long term project.  If someone else is in a better position than I, feel
free to hijack this.  Also, if you have access to the equipment
necessary to implement and test this, I'd be glad to offer my time.
Specifically, netreg depends on the ability to restrict network access
of unregistered hosts to the registration machine[s].

I think this is something that many would find very attrative were it
offered for Debian.  Imagine telling a school that they could
aptitude install netreg and have it scan student machines for the worm
of the week before allowing access.  And, hey, we can use samba to pop
up a MessageBox("You have a worm.  Your computer is quaranteened.
Please call IT at x6935.");

Cheers,
Justin

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

 reopen 266738
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
266738@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
