Hello Sergey,
I must confess that I am at the beginning with respect to
the picoBSD project I was writing about. I am still working
out which bits to use and which to consider rewriting for
lesser function but smaller fit.
So far I am looking at the radiusclient-0.3 package (from
Lars Fenneberg ?) that is part of the 3.3-RELEASE tree. I am
a rookie as far as the RADIUS configuration goes, as well,
and I'm facing learning the gettytab on an intimate level ...
(Perhaps I should buy a PortMaster ? ;-)
I have just managed to get the RADIUS server to authenticate
a RADIUS-only user, and return ENV values, so it is coming
along. I have not started messing about with crnuching
diskettes yet.
But enough of my troubles ...
From the radiusclient-0.3 package (0.31 is now available ...):
The binary (radlogin) comes out of the stock ports tree
at 3906 bytes. There is a companion (radacct) for sending
transaction stats to the RADIUS server (3884 bytes).
There is also a group of text config files:
dictionary 6385 bytes # stock defs of RADIUS atoms
radiusclient.conf 461 bytes # stripped to a minimum
servers 17 bytes # single RADIUS server ip & short secret
port-ip-map ~356 bytes # 16 lines defined
issue 135 bytes # stock but variable & (I think)
optional
without radacct binary: 11260
with: 15144 (~15 kb)
I think this would be a minimum of components, but I haven't tested it yet.
I would very much like to hear of your results so far.
Cheers,
Erik
