Use the source, Luke. We're running RADIUS on FreeBSD right now. Unfortunatly, we're not running the standard distribution, so I can't give you the patches to make it compile cleanly on FreeBSD. However, I just grabbed a copy of it, and it compiles without any source changes. Note, however, that I have *no clue* if it actually works. I'd assume so, though. :-) The Makefile options I used for radius-1.16 are: SRCDIR=. CFLAGS= -O -DNOSHADOW LDFLAGS= CC= cc LIBS= -lcrypt If this fails to work properly on your system, let me know and I'll give it a whacking over on one of our other machines to see what's going on. -Dave Andersen As an aside: Don't create a Linux box as the security server. We used to be a Linux-based shop here, and we ended up creating a FreeBSD server to be the authentication host and primary DNS server. If for no other reason (ignoring stability. :), FreeBSD uses a database format for its passwd lookups, and Linux just does a flat file lookup in /etc/passwd. This doesn't matter if you're users-file oriented, but it makes a gigantic difference if you have passwd file entries. IMHO, of course, others are free to disagree with me. :) Lo and behold, mikel@bns.com.au once said: > G'Day, > > Does anyone out there use the RADIUS software supplied with the Livingston > Portmaster? > > If so, have you "ported" it to FreeBSD or are you running it on a Linux > box. > > The RADIUS software looks pretty good, and I would like to play around > with it, however I cannot see any easy way to install it onto a FreeBSD > machine, I may have to sucumb and create a Linux box to run the "security > server" that the Livingston and RADIUS require. > > Regards and Salutations, > > Mikel > > -- > ----------------------------------------------------------- > Mikel Lindsaar | "If the dream is big enough, > mikel@bns.com.au | the facts don't count!" > ----------------------------------------------------------- > (Under Construction) http://www.bns.com.au/webdev/mikel/ > ----------------------------------------------------------- > -- angio@aros.net Complete virtual hosting and business-oriented system administration Internet services.
