In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We use NIS, because, as far as I can tell, you have to hack pppd to make it a Radius client. But, of course, you'd have to have FreeBSD, or some other Unix flavor w/ NIS to do your authenticating from. If you're interested, take a look at the manpage for yp .
