(besides using ports/packages) Suggestion number one: don't use Livingston RADIUS. The following have all been played with by myself, and although they require a bit of work to get up and running (all RADIUS software has a bit of a learning curve due to lack of proper documentation), they have all worked well for me in a production environment: Cistron - probably the most popular RADIUS server out there. Many of the ones below here are cistron-derived FreeRadius - promising work, technically "not suitable for production environments" but it seems quite stable to me ICRADIUS - specifically designed for users to exist in a MySQL table, so you get a web front-end to it. In addition, accounting goes to MySQL, so you can write code that produces nice stats quite quickly XTRadius - I have had very little experience with this, but this is by far the most flexible version providing you have time to write code. I haven't had a chance to benchmark it yet, but am planning to do soon to see how the external calls affect performance. -- Paul Robinson ,--------------------------------------- Technical Director @ Akita | A computer lets you make more mistakes PO Box 604, Manchester, M60 3PR | than any other invention with the T: +44 (0) 161 228 6388 (F:6389)| possible exceptions of handguns and | Tequila - Mitch Ratcliffe `----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
