RADIUS and mgetty

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

Robert,

I'd check out some of the Radius archives around ( ie Livingston ). Some
Radius servers will actually use a Unix password file for authentication.
Perhaps it can use the same one used by mgetty..? 

The other thing ( if you have lots of free time ) is that the source is
available for both..

Tim

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.
