Ask Slashdot: Setting Up a Wireless Catch-and-Release 332
First time accepted submitter SSG Booraem writes "I'm on the IT committee at my church. We've recently added wireless access points to our Family Life Center, but the committee chair isn't comfortable with allowing unrestricted access to our network. We host a lot of guests during the week for Upwards basketball practices and on Saturdays for games, so we want to restrict internet access to the Sunday school classes held in that building. Unfortunately, neither he, nor I, know anything about setting up a wireless catch-and-release like in hotels. If anyone could point me at good documentation, I would be very grateful."

God can't help with wifi issues since his presence tends to cause excessive interference across the wireless spectrum.

You want to get your hands on a patron saint of wifi [wikipedia.org] figurine to put on top of your router.

Don't post the password, post a clue to it like "Judges 5:16 word 10". Anyone who doesn't know the answer doesn't deserve access!

If it's from the old testament, there's a 90% chance that the word will always be "begat"

They're trying to discourage casual freeloaders, not secure their network against tech savvy dorks like you. Turning off SSID broadcast does that very effectively.

I think it's something like Pray for a man and you save him once. Teach him to pray for himself and you save him for a lifetime.

Not true, not true. You have to remember that before the "begat" there's all the raunchy bits, where some patriarch "knew" his wife, or his wife's maid, or his second wife, or in a couple of cases his daughters.
Seriously, if someone did an unexpurgated film version of the Bible, it would be rated NC-17. Especially the Song of Solomon.

Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.
