No single access point is going to be able to handle several hundred clients. Assume that every guest has at least two wireless devices.

The first is how will it be possible for every possible configuration of device to enter any data? (Or how can I, as a sysadmin, allow my users to be able to do this without also allowing them unfiltered web access on work laptops?) The second is that you can't trust user provided data from someone who is dishonest. Thus it makes more sense to link the "password" to the booking or how the room was paid for. > I am using this as a project for a young secondary lad who is > exploring computer options.

This may even be somewhat beyond GCE "A-level". -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with undefined - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlG40qAACgkQsoRLMhsZpFd91wCfUpIYe1F9eqhADxZ5/Hk1/WG3 d0AAn3lwRdzKVFhKd1G6arRnbMBEvGbv =GQ2k -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
