Internet cafe software for linux [closed]
Maybe you will be interested to have a look at this open source project Mkahawa, a derivative of Cafe Con Leche (old unmaintained). It is a full Internet Cafe billing system, but of course you are always free to charge nothing for usage.
EDIT - since I misunderstood the question... How about timeoutd? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man8/timeoutd.8.html
http://www.chillispot.info/ - WLAN Access Point controller software runs on Linux needs to be integrated with FreeRADIUS or OpenRADIUS or some other authentication method.. Also a simple webserver for the splash.
Supports various time-out options, logins or no logins, very customizeable.
http://www.hotspotsystem.com/ I saw this link on their site, looks maybe like a more user-friendly variant.
edit - http://coova.org/CoovaChilli this might be the currently supported ChilliSpot
i think Zencafe is perhaps interesting for your system.
I am using:
- CoovaChilli (for captive portal) - http://coova.org/CoovaChilli
- FreeRADIUS (for authentication source) - http://freeradius.org/
- DaloRADIUS (for account management) - http://daloradius.com/
- MySQL (for DB backend to FreeRADIUS and Dalo)
- On TurnKey Linux. (Which is just a simplified Ubuntu distro.)
For your setup, you would probably want to setup a central RADIUS/webserver to host hot spot logins and auth, then just CoovaChilli on your access gateways. (DaloRADIUS includes some decent starter pages for use with Chilli under daloradius/contrib/chilli)
