Hmmm, dd-wrt must finally be using one of Ewrt's versions of nocat.  We
developed and fixed a lot of bugs relative to those crashes and
HTTP-parser security.  Our latest version supports 4 methods of
authentication: Open (splash-only) mode, password/pin# with quotas,
passive/external auth, and RADIUS.  Changes in the ewrt system have been
lagging due to lack of support, but if you want to stay on top of current
splashd developments, I suggest you keep in synch with us.  The version in
our portless.net CVS should almost be stable emough for a new release
(about 4 years in coming.)  I presume that OpenWRT has by now got ahold of
some of our changes as well.  If anyone has patches or feature
improvements for splashd out there, they can be sent to me directly.
