Re: Open WiFi Access Point BCP's???

If you want to follow just one rule, it's this:-

Instruct your users to never (I mean NEVER) use applications which run
over unencrypted protocols.
Security first.

Anyone have any recommendations for  BCPs or software suggestions on 
running an open community-based access point (or network)?

Think: an urban area where potentially lots of people could be popping

on and off with little authentication. These seem to be pretty
prevalent 
around Panera's and other things -- I just don't know what they are 
doing to manage (rather that prevent) P2P and Spam, etc uses.

Pointers very appreciated!!

Thanks,

DJ
