Sounds like you wrote your own mgetty type program to do it. I did the same in 1997 and am still in the process of migrating the clients who use it to Portslave... > Up to this point, I've very little experience with radius servers, but > I'm interested in finding out about these accounting packets.

Why develop a new RADIUS server when the Cistron one is quite good and the FreeRADIUS project will be even better when they fix the last few bugs. Also a kernel-space RADIUS server makes no sense. On a network with 500,000 users you still only get about 400 RADIUS packets per second which is not enough to need a kernel version. -- http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/projects.html Projects I am working on http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
