i'm setting up a linux admin server on my company network so that i can
dial-in to the admin server from home and access the company network. i'm
hoping that this dial-in server is able to use radius to authenticate with
ldap. is "mgetty" the only program i need to set up a dial-in server (to
simulate a terminal server) other than radius/ldap server? would appreciate
if you can advise some sites where i can get more information on setting up
a linux dial-in server. thanks.
