Just checked the ports and the Radius client description was not very inviting: scant documentation.

How do these compare to NIS? I have seen some docs on NIS and I was hoping for something simpler, but for the little I have seen it doesn't seem so bad after all. What does Kerberos does by itself and why is PAM needed? Looking at Kerberos info on the web seems like it should be all that is needed for network authentication. francisco Moderator of the Corporate BSD list http://www.egroups.com/group/BSD_Corporate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
