[KLUG Members] 05/31: IMS, Open Source, and the GRPL

[Adam Tauno Williams]

2005-05-31 - IMS, Open Source, and the GRPL
 
Your Linux machine can be a network gateway. It can also run a firewall.
What if you created some software to control the firewall and allow or
disallow individual users access to the network through this gateway?
Come see how the Internet Station Manager (ISM) does just this.
Originally designed for libraries, it can make the job of managing a
group of shared machines much easier. Using Perl, Apache, MySQL, and
your operating system's firewall, it's a free alternative to help share
resources.
 
Bill Ott is the Information Systems Manager for the Grand Rapids Public
Libraries. He has been using Linux and free Unix variants since 1994. In
1999 he co-authored an application to manage timed sessions for public
Internet stations within the Library. Now in it's 4th revision, the
Internet Station Manager (ISM) has been released under the GPL, and has
been downloaded hundreds of times throughout the world.
