I know of a sysop that is trying to hack radius authentication into the logon for his machines. So when a user enters their usename and password it is encrypted and sent to a central radius server (that also controls the Portmasters and Ascends) for verification. This seems like a pretty good solution as it is secure and easily scalable and it fits in easily with his existing setup (as he already has a radius server for it to connect to). To make the job EVEN easier his user accounting package (UTA) has or is (I'm not sure this was a while ago) come out with a radius add on for their package. This means that the users info is entered once when the user subscribes and that's it! -Matt
