Sure it's possible, it's just not implemented yet :-) Seriously, I don't have time to do it but it seems like it would be a fairly easy programming project. See e.g. libradius(3). FYI, /etc/passwd is not compatible with MD5 CHAP because you need the cleartext password.. nor is it compabible with MSOFT CHAP. A RADIUS client implementation would make the most sense.. patches welcome. -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Packet Design * http://www.packetdesign.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
