NIS support is already there, ala whatever library functions handle that sort of thing, at least the Ascend radius I use doesn't try to take /etc/*passwd on it's own. There is a patch for logging to MySQL already, having radius authenticate against MySQL would be nice too. I've often thought about how nice it would be to have an enhanced radius server available. Unfortunately, I don't have the coding skills, or the time needed to figure it all out. Anyone out there looking for a project? Other nice features, would include: * group authentication (I've hardcoded my radius to deny logins to members of certain groups already) * authentication times - useful for setting up a 9-5 account or similar. * ability to detect and deny multiple logins * authentication against an SQL database * radius proxy * ability to provide auth services for a unix machine, serving up passwd information. Would work like NIS or some such, requiring modifications to the current password authentication stuff. -- Troy Settle Network Administrator, iPlus Internet Services http://www.i-Plus.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
