Hi I have a question We run a local ISP, and have three pools of 16 modems, two of which are rackmount BOCA modems (2x16), connected via Digiboards to a BSD box. The third is a US Robotics Total Control Netserver. Now, the problem is I need to support some sort of login menu on both... like: login: foo password: *** Welcome.. blah blah choose your service p) ppp s) slip Response: I've tested two versions of RADIUS, one from Ascend, and one from Livingston. The Livingston one works great with menus, but is to be used only with Livingston equipment. I downloaded and compiled the Merit version of RADIUS from the ports collection, but it doesn't seem to support menus. Has anybody modified the Merit version of RADIUS to allow this? I would like to use Merit RADIUS because I can get the source code for it, as I need to tweak some minor details, however, adding menu support would be a major pain. In fact, I would be happy if I could just display some text after the user has logged in, and ask a dumb string from the user. The reason for this is that before we got the USR NetServer, most of our users had dial scripts that waited for a shell prompt and sent the 'ppp' command there. We don't really have SLIP users anymore, so I could really care less what the user types, but the prompt has to be there, or else we're going to have to start a massive dial script modifying 'campaign', and being that our average user has no clue as to how to go about this, it could turn out to be quite troublesome. As for USR, I've yet to get an answer for them on wether they have ported their RADIUS server to FreeBSD yet, but everything I've read in the mailing list archives suggests they haven't. Thanks for any help you can provide. -Adrian Gonzalez -System Administrator -GPC Net
