Hi list:) Has anyone used mpd with external authentication like this one (mpd manual here): ---- # mpd.secrets configuration file # An external password access program gregory "!/usr/local/etc/mpd/get_passwd.sh" ---- It is a very convinient way of authenticating users I admit . However there is a major disadvantage - you cannot (according the documentation; will be glad if I'm wrong) assign ip address/range to the authenticated user. You will need to use RADIUS authentication, in order to do so. However, I don't feel like deploying RADIUS just to have a simple and convinient way of authenticating my VPN users against a database. So my question is: has someone of you , guys, patched mpd, so that it can understand ip address/range ardument upon successful authentication? Don't want to re-discover the wheel you know. Also, Archie :), if you read this, could you share your thoughts about it? TIA, Emil Filipov
