If you're dealing with visitors from various organisations, you may want to investigate using 802.1x with dynamic VLAN assignment and roaming for users. Unfortunately, *BSD support for 802.1x - at least to my knowledge - is not available. Windows (SecureW2) and Linux (Open1x) platforms do support it. Open1x states it cannot sustain the effort of supporting *BSD. On top of that; you'll need some RADIUS infrastructure and 802.1x capable devices that can do the VLAN assignment. In other words: it may be rather outside the scope you're thinking of (but it's used on several campuses, including mine :) Cheers, Rogier -- If you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there.
