The way I temporarily disable an account is to run vipw, find the account in the password file - and add a '*' as the _first_ character of their password... Be careful you don't corrupt their actual password, as there one-way encrypted... If they have a '*' as their first character they cannot log in... > I would like to know advantages/disadvantages > of the wide dial up servers such as radius, ascend-radius, > and radiusd-cistron e some hints to reach these configurations. That's a lot of questions, perhaps a little beyond the scope of FreeBSD-ISP (which is for mainly FreeBSD related topics to do with ISP'ing) - maybe someone will offer some advice though... We don't run Radius here as a server, so I can't really comment... Regards, Karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
