Hi all,
Been trying out F21 on my new laptop, and saw the nifty new captive auth feature when logging into wifi at starbucks this morning.
I did notice that the name of the application (as it appears in the gmenu up near the activities button) is "Captive Authentication". To a new user, that may not know exactly what captive auth is, this may be worrying or confusing -- "what about my authentication is being captured?"
Perhaps changing this to something like "Network Login" work work better?
cheers, ryanlerch

You live in the greater Boston area and that's the best coffee you can find? That makes me sad.

It should be "All your network are belong to us".

More seriously, this sounds like a good change to make.
