users based on time+ath (Please)

[Rafael Aquino]

One way to do that is to redirect the client/connection to a webpage
that asks for a user and password, which when validated inserts 
the client IP address / mac address as a dynamic rule in the firewall 
and some parallel control using crontab (or custom way) to delete the rule 
after an amount of time...

You can do this with squid + apache + php + postgresql + pf/ipfw...

Just to start thinking on a complete solution.. ;-)
