Topic: Login to use the web

[eiceic]

Is there a contrib out there that would allow me to setup a system like at a hotel where you have to login first before you can use the web, and then it will time-out after a certain amount of downtime?   I want to setup something like that at an office to allow only certain employees to use the internet - I know I can do something like it with squidguard, but the employees float from desk to desk and wouldn't have the same ip every day...

Dansguardian allows for this + the smeserver-dansguardian companion rpm makes possible the logins and such that you need.

And if you need the ability to view user's internet history sarg with smeserver-sarg work nicely.

[cjensen]

If you are going to buy the package you can confirm it's functions at the author's site:

There is also a free version without the panel.
