Well, I will contend with anything that will get me up and running:-)

Okay. Let me do that and also explain myself in the process:
My chilli.conf:
<begin>
[wash at FreeBSD-7 /usr/local/etc/chilli]$ less ../chilli.conf
#
# Chilli Configuration
#
# To configure chilli, see /usr/local/etc/chilli/default
# and then create your own /usr/local/etc/chilli/config
# start / stop chilli with @INITDIR@/chilli
#
# For help with coova-chilli,
# visit http://coova.org/wiki/index.php/CoovaChilli
#
# This file can either contain all your chilli configurations, or include
# other files, as shown per default below. The idea here is that main.conf
# contains your main configurations, hs.conf is for your configurations
# delivered by RADIUS (using the Administrative-User login), and local.conf
# is for any other settings you might configure by hand for this particular
# installation.
include /usr/local/etc/chilli/main.conf
include /usr/local/etc/chilli/hs.conf
include /usr/local/etc/chilli/local.conf
ipup=/usr/local/etc/chilli/up.sh
ipdown=/usr/local/etc/chilli/down.sh
</end>
So I lifted a main.conf from
http://www.geeklan.co.uk/files/coova-main.confand I must swear that I
barely understand it, as the examples seem rather
specific to a certain site. I am including my main.conf and I have decided
to number each life for ease of explaining the lines I don't understand.
<begin main.conf>
#copy this file into /usr/local/chilli
#& create 2 empty files named hs.conf & local.conf
# http://www.geeklan.co.uk/files/coova-main.conf
1. cmdsocket /var/run/chilli.sock
2. pidfile /var/run/chilli.pid
3. net 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
4. uamlisten 192.168.1.101
5. uamport 3990
6. dhcpif vr0
7. adminuser chillispot
8. adminpasswd chillispot

14. wisprlogin https://coova.org/app/uam/auth
15. wwwdir /usr/local/www/chilli
16. wwwbin /usr/local/etc/chilli/wwwsh
17. locationname "ROWTech Securitet"
18. radiuslocationname ROWTech_HotSpot
19. radiuslocationid isocc=,cc=,ac=,network=Coova,
20. radiusserver1 rad01.coova.org
21. radiusserver2 rad01.coova.org
22. radiussecret coova-anonymous
23. radiusauthport 1812

</end>
Let's say I have a dual-homed box, with vr0 being the public interface and
fxp0 being the private interface. And say I run a DHCP server on the
internal interface.
Also say I run FreeRADIUS (with MySQL support) on the same box. I also run
my Apache22 on this very box, so it is "everything to me". I have the IP
192.168.1.101 on the internal/private interface (fxp0). Can someone explain
to me what items 6-10, 14, 19, 25 should be?
I am especially not sure how 14 and 25 are being arrived at.
I also have the file named "defaults" which I need to copy to "config". They
are both in /usr/local/etc/chilli/. Looking at them, I see that most of the
parameters are almost like what I see in main.conf. This has left me
confused as what purpose the "config" file is supposed to serve.
All my chilli files are accesible on my webserver via /coova (an Apache
Alias pointer). Now where /app are supposed to come from still beats me.
Am I supposed to be running my own DHCP server or does coova-chilli have
some sort of built-in DHCP server?
At some point, I believe I am going to introduce a Wireless Access Point
into this mix, connected to my DHCP interface, yes? This is how the clients
are going to communicate with the system, correct?
My other problem are two files- up.sh and down,sh: I can run either PF or
IPFilter/IPNat on the FreeBSD box, but not IPTABLES. So I am wondering what
the purpose of these two files. What do they do? I do believe IPTables is
for Linux only. Is there a FreeBSD use who can share their *BSD versions of
these two files?
I also had to install haserl from http://haserl.sourceforge.net/ but I still
wonder if it's necessary in my setup. I still haven't quite caught up speed
on this so please excuse my ignorance.
Thank you so much for your time. Let me not ask too much on this mail:-)
