Right now, your best hope is probably NIS. Adam David and I are vaguely working towards getting radius client support into pppd. You could contact <damian@cablenet.net> and ask him how he did his radius login stuff. I think he replaced login with radlogin. Getting radiusd to read your local password file is not easy, though - it has a separate password/attributes file. /* Daniel O'Callaghan */ /* HiLink Internet <http://www.hilink.com.au/>; danny@hilink.com.au */ /* FreeBSD - works hard, plays hard... danny@freebsd.org */
