Hi,

Is it possible to install NoCatAuth on a Linux kernel > 2.4?  I have 
CentOS 5.2 x86_64 installed, which has a 2.6.18 kernel.

Many thanks,
Kevin

Hi All,

I'm wondering how much development is currently active on this project 
(NoCatSplash) and the kind of support from the community is currently 
available.

I ask this, as I've recently set-up a CentOS 5.2 installation and I'm 
having trouble trying to get the test loopback option installed and working.

I've installed the test with the following configure:

$ cd splash
$ ./configure --prefix=/tmp/nocat --with-firewall=loopback \
     --with-ghttpd
$ make
$ make install
$ vi /tmp/nocat/etc/nocat.conf

Set "LoginTimeout" to a low value, say, 120 seconds. As root, run:

# /tmp/nocat/sbin/ghttpd &
# /tmp/nocat/sbin/splashd

When I visit http://localhost/test.html it doesn't redirect to the 
authorisation page. It shows the success page (test.html) instead.

Any ideas what might be wrong?  Can this correctly install the correct 
firewall settings for iptables 1.3.5 on a Linux Kernel 2.6.18?

Many thanks,
Kevin
