[-- Attachment #1 --] I'm not sure how all ISPs do it, but one thing I've seen is for the ISP to have a modem pool to which customers dial up. This modem pool uses the radius protocol to authenticate connecting users. The ISP will run radiusd on one of their servers (Maybe the FreeBSD box in this case). radiusd can be configured to authenticate off of it's own password file, /etc/passwd, etc, etc. -Ben ###On Sun, Feb 11, 2001 at 10:42:50PM -0800, parthasarathi biswas wrote: > Hello!! > I want to do an ISp type setup in my Freebsd System > just for learning.And what I have heard that when an > ISP creates user accounts who will acess the net,they > assign them the ppp shell.is that right if that is so > how do I do it in Freebsd.Pls advise soon.How to > assign the usrsa a ppp shell so that they have limited > rights on the system of just accessing the net through > my system.Pls advise soon. > Brgds/Partha > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
