There is a package called wifidog-auth-lite in cvs, which does part of
this, lets the user through without auth'ing; i don't know how
supported it is. cvs checkout details below...

i ported it to python for wirelesslondon, it's pretty simple. You wind
up at a portal page, with a 'click here to go on the internet' button.
AFAIK you have to POST a login back to the auth server; with NoCatSplash i
could GET an authentication/login request, and have every link on the portal
page be redirected through a script which would GET an auth request
and then hand off to the original page requested, transparent to the
user.

I would really like to take some time at Wsfii to document the auth
server spec and implement proper login for wirelesslondon as well as
it's current, between-two-stools 'open mode'

$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/wifidog login
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous at cvs.sf.net:2401/cvsroot/wifidog
CVS password: (hit ENTER)
$ cvs -d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/wifidog co wifidog-auth-lite

see http://tinyurl.com/8xl3m for my pretty trivial python port.
