WiCap-PHP

["WiCap-PHP"] is a very simple captive portal for OpenBSD (tested on 3.5 and 3.7). Currently it is maintained by CalebPhillips.

As of November, 2005, the most recent version is delta. I am making an interim release which contains some bug fixes and will be the last stable release before epsilon.

Project Forks

BenjaminJencks rewrote the perl part of WiCap-PHP (version beta) in python, and made some cool improvements. Get his version here:

• [http://bjencks.net/captive/captive-0.1.tar.gz captive-0.1.tar.gz]

Although, his improvements made the beta version much better, delta incorporates his changes, with one exception, delta is written in C and PHP, no Python. My rationale behind this is that Python is not installed with OpenBSD 3.7 by default, and adding it takes significant space, since my Node is using a 256 MB Compact-Flash card for storage, this savings is needed. If you have Python installed, you may want to check out his fork.

Documentation

There is a FAQ here: ["WiCap-PHP-FAQ"]

Installation instructions are maintained within the tarball, also there is a HowTo here: [http://www.smallwhitecube.com/php/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=howto:openbsdap OpenBSD AP HowTo]

This will walk you through setting up an OpenBSD 3.7 access point from scratch. (based on ["NodeSmallWhiteCube"])
