PacketFence is a Free and Open Source network access control (NAC) system. PacketFence is actively maintained and has been deployed in numerous large-scale institutions.
There are not many distributions available that provide an own package for that software

EDIT
An alternative software is the brand new released OpenPanel. http://www.openpanel.com/
Though, it seems hard to get the GPL'ed source currently. Only deb packages released so far.

Enterprise network security is the easiest way I can describe NAC. It's fantastic if you have hundreds if not thousands of devices accessing your network!

Or, to say it with the words from the homepage of webmin (another alternative to Packetfence or OpenPanel).

Using any modern web browser, you can setup user accounts, Apache, DNS, file sharing and much more. Webmin removes the need to manually edit Unix configuration files like /etc/passwd, and lets you manage a system from the console or remotely.
