My wireless network uses a RADIUS server to authenticate people against the network Kerberos database. Every user must have an entry in the Kerberos database in order to access the network. While I don't mind if while I'm connected to the network my partner uses the network connection, I certainly don't want him able to access the password that is used for authentication. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
