Since the RADIUS stuff for Linux is further along than > FreeBSD, run radiusd on your FreeBSD box and the radlogin stuff on Linux. I haven't used RADIUS yet but I'm getting along OK with kerb. Does RADIUS use pub-key stuff too? Anyone know the major package differences? Kerberos is nitpicky at times, I'll grant that, but it seems pretty secure, and it's already built in to helpful stuff like the r-commands and my netblazers. I mean, the downside is it's so confusing that if, on the off chance, you get an intruder who knows some sneaky way through it, there's no way in hell you'll understand what they're doing ;) but I'm a big fan of the kerberos security model.
