How secure is it Mac Authentication. I mean, is there no way for someone to emulate a Authorized Mac. with software or something to get onto the network?

Wireless access points to simple auth. Username will be the MAC address with the password same as the radius secret (most ones I have used anyway. Username will be either in the format 00-00-00-00-00-00 or 000000-000000
 
Basically, go into your access point and point it to the radius server and give it the secret
Setup your access point as a client on the radius server and fill in the secret
Setup usernames in the users file or in /etc/passwd file if you have unix auth configured (see above for username and password details).

I'm not sure if this message reached the list , if it did then I'm truly sorry.
 
Hi , I need to setup radius to authenticate an incomming connection VIA Wireless
on the incomming PC's Mac Adress. Is there a HOWTO or some documentation laying
around somewhere? I know how to auth. the incomming NAS but don't have any idea what
the User details should look like in radius it self.
 
I'm using freeradius 0.3 with Mysql Authentication.
 
Kind Regards
    Stephan
