I already have the Livingston radiusd with the SLIP/CSLIP/PPP patches installed, plus some other patches of my own. This already works with a Portmaster that I borrowed, for reference purposes. I also have the RADIUS client login for Linux, and will study how it can be nicely injected into the BSD login - replacing the getpwent() call with a RADIUS authentication request. This Linux code does not support RADIUS accounting; I plan to put that in by taking it backwards from the server code. Along this line, I previously asked for suggestions on good multiport cards to use for FreeBSD. I also plan to stick a sync serial board to make the system a one-box solution for ISPs. I would appreciate advice on how to use such a system where user accounts are divided between different boxes. Would NIS/NIS+ do it? Or perhaps, a distributed RADIUS system like in the (complicated) Merit radiusd? Any suggestions or code are appreciated! -- miguel a.l. paraz -- map@iphil.net -- http://www.iphil.net/user/map/ iphil communications, makati city, philippines
