I had a look at this, and it's pretty neat. Basically you can create WiFi gateways and portals using a very simple system. Perfect for coffee shops, university systems, or any urban system. And you can do this on a budget. Thanks, Mike.

Although authpf is an excellent tool for securing wireless access points, you'd still have to get the user (who could be anyone from Dennis Ritchie to your recipe-searching-but-technically-clueless mother; while I'm on it, technically savvy support staff might not be on site to help users with their questions, either) to install and correctly configure an SSH client. Not the hardest thing in the world, but, well, if you've never worked a help desk...
Both systems have their advantages; I think that a slightly modified wicap that has a legal notice that does some CYA for the access provider would be a good alternate default for the system.

I'm not sure how SSL doesn't help people who are "connecting for the first".
Which "continue" are you referring to? One that says something along the lines of, "Establishing SSL connection, click continue to proceed."? Or the one that bitches about your certificate being self-signed?
all morons will clik "submit"

The code works, but its not 100% feature complete. I never got around to porting it to anything but pf. Other than that, it works rather well. :)
I here by officially change the license to BSD style licensing with the advertising clause. I'll try and put out a release soon.

When a user fires up their browser, they're forced to sign in with their SSO, which gets authenticated against our (shudder) Active Directory, so they can grab our Cisco VPN client. Then they can wing in on an IPSec connection and have net access.
Not exactly the same, but hey, at least it's secured. And it's practically a base install. Whee.
