It supports authentication from flat files, UNIX passwd files, MERIT-style .users files, a variety of SQL databases, ODBC, and almost anything else you can think of; It writes logs and accounting information to files, databases, syslog, ODBC, whatever. Its configuration syntax is well suited to either realm-based or DNIS-based authentication domains, so it works well with Cisco VPDNs and other outsourced dialup solutions. ... And it's written in extremely maintainable perl, so you can extend it in the unlikely event that it doesn't already do what you want it to do. It has an active user community based around some mailing lists too. It was developed on FreeBSD, so there are no operability problems with the platforms we talk about on these lists :-) Documentation is good too. It's a commercial product: $1000 (Australian currency) buys a license for up to 5 servers. Source code is, naturally, included (since it's written in perl, after all). In case you haven't noticed, I can't recommend it highly enough. It craps all over every other Radius server I've seen. - mark -- Mark Newton Email: newton@internode.com.au (W) Network Engineer Email: newton@atdot.dotat.org (H) Internode Systems Pty Ltd Desk: +61-8-82232999 "Network Man" - Anagram of "Mark Newton" Mobile: +61-416-202-223 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
