Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am setting up a new Internet Business in my area. This business would consits of a CyberCafe and Dial-Up Internet access. My Solution for the Dial-Up access is to use the Livingston PM-3 with a Radius Server for authentication. The CyberCafe would have 10 workstations running either Win95/FreeBSD. My only problem is how do I autenticate the CyberCafe users? Can Radius be used? How do I autenticate users on theses workstations using Radius? What OS should I use on the workstations (Win95/FreeBSD)? Is there Radius Client drivers for Win95? Can FreeBSD act as a Radius Client to allow users to login to the workstations? My Ideal for the users home dirctories (using FreeBSD) was to have one server export a NFS volume, and the 10 workstations would all mount it. Would I need to set up a common password and group file for all 11 computers? Your help is appreciated. Scot W. Hetzel
