I'm working towards using a central SQL database (probably MySQL) for all authentication -- in fact, everything period.. I'm working on a SQL DNS server, there is a semi broken one at bind.linuxos.net. There isn't an "in a box" solution for this, so far I have : ProFTPD as the FTP daemon, there is a mod_mysql and mod_sqlpw for it that seems to work nicely. Qpopper with a patch to auth from a MySQL database (http://www.netd.co.za/mysql_mail/) And Exim as a MTA (http://www.netd.co.za/mysql_mail/) - it has native support for MySQL :-) RADIUS - There are plenty of MySQLized RADIUS servers, Cistron is one (there are links to others at http://www.miquels.cistron.nl/radius/) I've also toyed with the idea of using the PAM module for RADIUS authentication, nearly everything now has support for PAM authentication. Good luck! -Mitch ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike <mikey@kappaisle.com> To: <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Cc: <freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Sunday, March 12, 2000 2:02 PM Subject: Password distribution and authentication > Hi everyone! > > Besides using NIS (which is rather an insecure way) for password/group > file distribution around the servers on the network, is there any other > way to accomplish a centralized or distributed password authentication > task? > > Looking forward in hearing your replies! > > Thank you > > Mike > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
