This is oasis, the network access server (NAS) for the
StockholmOpen.Net operator neutral public access network. For more
information about StockholmOpen.Net, check the webpage at
http://www.stockholmopen.net/. The latest version of this software and
other packages can be downloaded from
http://software.stockholmopen.net/. There is also a page with
frequently asked questions (with answers).

This program is heavily based on the ideas from IP-login, written by
Enrico Pelletta <enrico@it.kth.se> and others, also for the
StockholmOpen.Net system. Fredrik Lilieblad <fli@it.kth.se> has also
been of invaluable help in the design of this program.

This program is licensed as Open Source under the terms of the BSD
license. For more information see the file LICENSE. Bug reports and
patches are appreciated on the mailing list
<open-devel@stockholmopen.net>.

For installation instructions, see the file INSTALL in the top level
directory of the source tree. This program uses GNU autoconf to ease
the compilation and installation process. The configure script accepts
some extra arguments: run './configure --help' to see them.

This product includes software developed by the OpenSSL Project for
use in the OpenSSL Toolkit. (http://www.openssl.org/)

Oasis depends on the following libraries (which thus must be installed
prior to compilation):

* PAM

  Oasis uses PAM as authentication backend, which makes it very easy
  to use different authentication systems (including /etc/passwd file,
  RADIUS, kerberos, or just about anything that has a PAM module).

* Pthreads

  The program has a multi-threaded design, and uses the POSIX pthreads
  package.

* SSL

  Oasis uses an SSL encrypted connection for the communication with
  the firewall control daemon (fwcd).

* Pcap

  Pcap, the general packet capture library developed for tcpdump, is
  used for the probe plugins (currently ICMP ping and ARP ping).

* LibNet

  LibNet is also used for the probe plugins to build the ping packets.


Oasis is known to compile on the following platforms:
 - i386 Debian GNU/Linux 3.0
 - FreeBSD 4.4
 - i386 RedHat 7.2
