you are planning to roll out captive portals, with RADIUS authentication, most likely SQL based accounting and volume/time account restrictions etc. you MAY have to install a form of proxy to protect juveniles from certain sites etc - depending on local legal requirements. compared to this, setting up a VPN tunnel to the central AAA box with OpenVPN is trivial. Its about 15 lines of openvpn.conf file. oh, and a 'yum install openvpn' beforehand. which do you want? security and a workable system, or a hatchet job? alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
