[NoCat] NoCat crash

[tjaqua at efn.org]

Hi Scott,

The splashd on the NoCat website is very old and umaintained.  I fixed
many of the bugs in the HTTP server and made it much more flexible and
secure for the Ewrt WRT54G router project.  It should build and run fine
on x86, but you need to install glib-1.2.x as a prerequisite.  You could
check out the latest splashd code from CVS at http://cvs.portless.net/.
Checkout only the ewrt-0.4/src/packages/splashd directory so you don't get
the whole codebase.      It can be configured to run in any of four
different modes: open (splash only), password (with user time quotas), or
using the passive or radius backends.  Let me know if you have any more
questions.
