I don't know what causes this to happen, but it seems every time I give up and cry for help, I end up making a breakthru within 10 minutes. Maybe I should try that more often. :-) APPARENTLY.. the radius.conf, libradius and pam_radius files/modules all work together. What I did was set up radius.conf with the radius server hostname and secret, then added login auth sufficient pam_radius.so to the top of the pam.conf file, added a line to the radius users file for this test user account I set up and voila! I suspect if I port the linux pam support for qpopper to freebsd, I should be in business.. -- Dan Roberts, http://gwis.com/~droberts Gateway to Internet Services Dragons Hockey, http://rm-rf.net/dragons http://www.gwis.com On Thu, 15 Apr 1999, Dan Roberts wrote: > > I'd like to know where we can find additional modules for use under > > FreeBSD's implementation of PAM.
