I'm still trying to figure out all the possibilities about how I can use freeradius on our system? Is it possible or even a good idea to configure a system like the following? I want to have the users (10,000) in the radius server running mysql and not /etc/passwd file except for the system users. I was hoping that I could use pam so the users can authenticate for other program like proftpd or qmail etc. I'm not sure if it would be possible to enforce disk quotas and each user still having a unique UID number.
Correct me if I an wrong but doesn't PAM return the same information like UID,GID, shell and home directory that the getpasswd does? Michael Letchworth - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
