Yes, we are using it with ldap authentication,mysql accounting with 3 nases (2 cisco 2500 and one 5300) for around 15000 users for the last month and until now it is working quite ok. I think that the server is stable enough to use in a production environment. > > 2.

It all depends on the underlying user database. Freeradius can use system files,pam,ldap,mysql and other user authentication schemes, so ultimately the choise for password changes is up to you. -- kkalev > > > Thanks. > > > John Blumel > > > > - > List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
