Moritz Schulte <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: Mona
System name: mona
Type: non-GNU

Description:
`Mona\' is an application framework for the `Management of Network Accounts\'.  
This means that with Mona it is easy to associate IP addresses with `users\' 
and enable/disable their network access.  Furthermore Mona contains 
functionality for counting the traffic and disable users automatically once a 
certain limit is reached.  The application is designed as a client <-> server 
system, which means that there is basically on Mona server and different 
clients, one of them being a simple but powerful `Mona shell\' and another one 
being a CGI web frontend.  Because of the modular architecture it is easy to 
provide for example automatically generated dhcp configuration files.

It is primarily developed for use in student hostels, where students have a 
certain amount of traffic available and where it should be easy for 
administrators to register new users.  But I hope that it is or will be general 
enough so that it can be used in very different environments as well.

At the moment there are three Mona sub packages: mona-mod-gnu-linux, 
mona-mod-psql (Mona plugins with functionality specific to GNU/Linux systems 
(e.g. interacting with iptables) and to PostgreSQL, and also mona-web, which 
contains CGI scripts written in Guile.
 

Other Software Required:
It uses guile as a parser for configuration files and Srpc, a simple RPC 
system, which I have registered at Savannah few days ago.
