I have been doing some reading re: radius. When should one use radius?
I have read that radius is useful when one needs a centralized user/password database. I guess that would be good when one has lots of remote access servers. I have read that radius is good when one needs accounting. We just need a dial in solution for 6 or so users. No accounting is necessary. What are the disadvantages of using a simple ppp solution that authenticates against the /etc/passwd file on a Linux box? We were thinking of using a pci card with 8 modems. Is radius overkill for us or is it a more secure solution? Any advice/links to documentation would be useful. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-radius mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-radius
