[Jason Potter]

Hi Benoit,

I would like to take up ticket 19 but would need some initial guidance.  Can
anyone provide this?

Cheers
Jason

Well, if it was already working, there would be a need for the ticket.  A
lot 
of work still needs to be done on the gateway to make this work.

On the auth server side however, there is probably no need to create users
on 
the fly, all tracking functions already work by MAC adress as well as 
username.

Putting a hard daily limit on session time has been discussed before, but 
there is nobody opened a task for it.

Trafic shaping has several different tasks open already.
