The Houston (Tx, USA) computer club's Internet system is running a radiusd that I have hacked on. It provides access classes via the CLASS field in the FreeBSD user database (Major classes are RLOGIN, SLIP, CSLIP, PPP but specific users can be added to the /etc/raddb/users file for dedicated links, demos w/out access to the Unix box, etc) and each class only takes one entry in the /etc/raddb/users file (the lookup in this file is done on the CLASS field, not the login name) allowing us to completely ignore the the /etc/raddb/users file when creating accounts ~ all we do is set the class field to RLOGIN, SLIP, CSLIP, or PPP and the user gets that type of connection. The user also has a shell account that (s)he can telnet into via their IP connection or from a remote host to access Unix services. We have also hacked chpass(1) to take a -c option and allow the user to change their class at will. The radiusd from Livingston is quite hackable, and you an do just about anything with it you want. We are running four 30 line portmasters with a total of 120 lines, and keep all the user accounts (1400+) on one FreeBSD box ~ most users don't touch it. It's also our web (http://hal-pc.org) server and mail server. We have a separate box for news. We love FreeBSD.... If there is intrest in this, I'll spend some time making it into a package/port. -- X, windows done right...
