Hilton, This assumes you are running m0n0wall in a corporate environment, which is only _one_ of a number of deployment possibilities. If you run m0n0wall on your home DSL router, or at a cafe or small business, then what Fred wants is entirely appropriate--please, no tirades about what _belongs_ on a firewall... one can make a case for the SOHO user that some suggested services _do_ belong on a firewall considering that a captive portal requires the use of firewall rules. That said, NoCatSplash is, I believe, written for Linux, not *BSD. There is a basic requirements spec that was authored by me and Michael Mee a few months ago, but I don't believe any work has happened on it yet. http://socalfreenet.org/book/view/58 Your best bet, if you need to use a single Soekris box or computer, may be to use "pebble" http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble which is a linux distro for doing exactly what you are asking. Its not as easy to use as m0n0wall, but it works mostly out of the box.
