Yes, you can say that again. Radius is nice, but.. Up until now you've often had to duplicate accounts, passwords etc etc - one set for the terminal servers, one for the shell/mail/etc servers. The possibility of storing everything in one place would be really nice, as long as it was quick and robust. ppp/CHAP can't be used with unix encrypted passwords, so you can't use a unix /etc/master.passwd file as a source for ``secure'' (as microsoft calls it) authentication. I have a personal interest in this area, but have not had much to do with Radius yet. This will be changing as I'm going to be introduced (with force :-) to terminal servers that use Radius sometime over the next few months. > -- > Andreas Klemm http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~andreas > What gives you 90% more speed, for example, in kernel compilation ? > http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/~fsmp/SMP/akgraph-a/graph1.html > "NT = Not Today" (Maggie Biggs) ``powered by FreeBSD SMP'' > Cheers, -Peter -- Peter Wemm Netplex Consulting To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
