RADIUS and mgetty

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Tim,

Yes and No.    My question come from the experience of portslave which is a dialin getty like mgetty.  Except mgetty (I think) is geared more
for the in-general-single-machine use.  (single machine in the way it authenticates).   While being able to accept or reject calls based on the
incoming phone number,  mgetty has some the capabilities of portslave.    However a central machine for authetication is an absolute must for
dialin networks.   I love useing mgetty I think it is great.  I use it on my dialin lines now.   However, I need to extend my ability to
authenticate from outside my network.   That is my I need a RADIUS server.   However, I sure wish there was a way to use mgetty with it.
