Hi Richard,
I came across this old posting of yours and was interested in one of the items you had mentioned under your custom scripts list for the insideUHS site.
What tools did you use to develop the wireless registration scripts? I am planning on following your instructions for RADIUS/ActiveDirectory authentication, and a web front end to tie everything together would be very cool.
Thanks.
I wrote a simple input form in Perl and then stored the MAC addresses in mySQL in case I lost the AD database.
