“Packetfence is one of the most powerful network access control
applications available. With this tool you can control who (what,
and when) has access to your network. If you are concerned about
network security, and you want the absolute most control,
Packetfence is what you need.

“This power comes with a price, that price being installation.
Packetfence was built for the likes of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and
CentOS, but that doesn’t prevent it from being installed on Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, installing Packetfence on Ubunt is one of the single
most challenging installation tasks I have ever attempted. After
spending a weekend working out the process, I can finally bring to
you an easy to follow (though time consuming) guide to help you
bring incredible control over your network.”
