Thanks! I am facing a couple of problems: 1) I'm using NoCatSplash which is written in C and so can't patch a Perl script to it. Is there a C equivalent? 2) It appears that I would have to run access.fw explicitly. I am wondering if there's a simple way to just have NoCatSplash itself send a notification to stdout (or better yet a text file) with a new user's MAC/IP addresses, apart from updating the IPTables? I agree that just reading the IP tables would be a straightforward way. But this would be a bit cumbersome for me since it would require my application to sit in a loop periodically querying the IP tables, and afterwards update a text file with the new info. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Pankaj.

E.g. does NoCatSplash update a text file with this information? If not, can I somehow get NoCatSplash to run my own script to obtain the address info., as soon as the user is authenticated?
