What a curious idea. I always use openvpn to authenticate network endpoints (give each user or group of users a static IP address or block, probably in 10.0.0.0/8, and the rest is easy). Goes well with 802.11 - it's like a form of WEP that isn't idiotic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
