Anyone know of some free wifi authentication software?

Friend is thinking of offering wifi in his coffee shop. Do you think it would be a good idea for people to get a username/pwd from the front counter to access wifi? Also, is there any free software you can use to do this?

When I go to a hotel, if I log into their wifi network, it automatically pushes me to a page asking for a username and password. How do they do that? That's the situation I'd like to set up actually.

I don't think firespot is free, but it's what is in the coffee shop I go to. I'm not aware of any free options though.

The dd-wrt and sveasoft firmware for the wrt54g includes the feature. you have to provide your own radius and webserver(s).
