I don't like the idea of doing that on production boxes running multiple services becuase it seems likely that some security update will cause a cascade of upgrades or break something. Most of the time unstable stuff works fine, but sometimes it bites you in the ass. Maybe if we setup a seperate box running not much other than the freeraduis it could be ok. At http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=142217&repeatmerged=yes it says "radiusd-freeradius is too buggy. This is a grave bug, by Policy s2.1.2. Maybe it will be ready for Woody+1." What does the Woody+1 mean, a minor release/update to woody or does it mean sid?

Radius choices now that freeradius has been dropped from woody.
One of our techs wants to use freeradius on a production box, but now that it has been dropped from woody I would rather use something else. We do want LDAP support and some kind of user accounting to limit users time. What do you all suggest? Thanks, Chuck -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: mass email distribution software
I think it depends a lot on who uses it. We have an ethical use for some mass email distribution software. My friend Kathy Miles writes a weekly column and publishes it on the web at http://StarrySkies.com and we sometimes get requests to send it via email. We have tossed around the idea of setting up something to mail the articles weekly, but I haven't really looked into setting it up mostly because we aren't making any money with the site. If anyone has any suggestion as to how we can ethically make money with the site, please let us know.

56K dialup for CCIL
CCIL.org, a non-profit freenet, is finally getting around to wanting 56K dialup. A big part of the board wanting it now is our per line cost will be cheaper and they want to double the number of users in 2002. Too bad they want all this done with declining donations. One of our Network Admins Eric likes the USR Total Control and says we can pick up a used one for a good price. Does anyone have experience with them or comments on the performance and reliablity? We also offer text/shell dialup access because a few people still use slow old machines and a number of seniors just use PINE for email. We can keep a few of the old analog lines going for them, but it would be prefable to offer both ppp and shell on the same dialup pool like we are now. We will be using OpenLDAP for authenication. It is a must that we be able to control users online time and vary it for a few, volunteers and other specified people get extra time while most of the users get a couple of hours per day and we limit it during heavy usage. Does anyone have comments on that issue? CCIL is expecting to spend 5-7K on this so that kind of limits our equipment options. Maybe something besides the USR Total Control would be a better choice. Any recommendations? We also need the digital lines (West Chester, PA), Eric is going to check with Verizon for ISDN PRI line. 23B+1D configuration. Does anyone have recommendations for competing vendors? Thanks, Chuck

Re: login prompt problem for windows users.
It seems it is an issue of mgetty, not ppp. Once he does get logged in via bring up the terminal window after dialing he can initate PPP just fine. The login prompt is not being displayed until after one hits the enter key once and that seems to be what is making the problem for windows users. I have everything setup as suggested below or the defaults except that I turned authenication off with noauth in options.ttyQ1a7. And yes I know that is a bad idea/secuity issue, I'll fix that later after we get this login issue worked out. I know we had this Equinox working fine before, a year or 2 ago the guy we bought it from had us set it up for him with Debian. I will try turing off the -s option in inittab and see if that helps.

login prompt problem for windows users.
I sent the following to Equinox tech support, but I was hoping a kind Debian guru can tell me what the problem is. We are using Debian Linux with an Equinox SST box to offer some users free PPP dialup. Most everything appears to be working fine except that Windows users are not automatically logging in. The Windows users should just be able to enter the phone number, username and password. But for some reason they are not logging in. I had one of the users test it with bring up a terminal window after dialing and he is able to login and initiate ppp without problems, but we need the process to work the way it should. The login prompt is not being displayed until after one hits the enter key once. Mark, a windows user, has been dialing in on Q07, in inittab it has Q07:23:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -D -s 115200 -m '"" ATZ OK"' ttyQ1a7 I also asked Mark to dial in with HyperTerminal to confirm that the login prompt was not appearing until he pressed enter, and he confirmed that is the case. The following may not be helpful, but maybe it is. dialup prompt news!login: telnet prompt news login: Part of /etc/mgetty/login.config # This is the "standard" behaviour - *dont* set a userid or utmp # entry here, otherwise /bin/login will fail! # This entry isn't really necessary: if it's missing, the built-in # default will do exactly this. # * - - /bin/login @ The following are some mgetty enties of failed logins, and successful logins using the manual bring up the termal window. -- 03/04 15:41:01 1a7 mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.18-Sep11 03/04 15:41:01 1a7 check for lockfiles 03/04 15:41:01 1a7 locking the line 03/04 15:41:02 1a7 lowering DTR to reset Modem 03/04 15:41:02 1a7 send: ATZ[0d] 03/04 15:41:02 1a7 waiting for ``OK'' ** found ** 03/04 15:41:03 1a7 waiting... 03/04 15:46:33 1a7 wfr: waiting for ``RING'' 03/04 15:46:33 1a7 send: ATA[0d] 03/04 15:46:33 1a7 waiting for ``CONNECT'' ** found ** 03/04 15:46:53 1a7 send: 03/04 15:46:53 1a7 waiting for ``_'' ** found ** 03/04 15:46:55 # data dev=ttyQ1a7, pid=12205, caller='none', conn='115200', name='', cmd='/usr/sbin/pppd', user='/AutoPPP/' -- 03/04 15:50:01 1a7 mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.18-Sep11 03/04 15:50:01 1a7 check for lockfiles 03/04 15:50:01 1a7 locking the line 03/04 15:50:02 1a7 lowering DTR to reset Modem 03/04 15:50:02 1a7 send: ATZ[0d] 03/04 15:50:02 1a7 waiting for ``OK'' 03/04 15:50:02 1a7 found action string: ``NO CARRIER'' 03/04 15:50:02 1a7 init chat failed, exiting...: Invalid argument 03/04 15:50:02 # failed in mg_init_data, dev=ttyQ1a7, pid=12225 -- 03/04 15:50:03 1a7 mgetty: experimental test release 1.1.18-Sep11 03/04 15:50:03 1a7 check for lockfiles 03/04 15:50:03 1a7 locking the line 03/04 15:50:03 1a7 lowering DTR to reset Modem 03/04 15:50:04 1a7 send: ATZ[0d] 03/04 15:50:04 1a7 waiting for ``OK'' ** found ** 03/04 15:50:04 1a7 waiting... 03/04 16:17:17 1a7 wfr: waiting for ``RING'' 03/04 16:17:17 1a7 send: ATA[0d] 03/04 16:17:17 1a7 waiting for ``CONNECT'' ** found ** 03/04 16:17:37 1a7 send: 03/04 16:17:37 1a7 waiting for ``_'' ** found ** 03/04 16:17:53 # data dev=ttyQ1a7, pid=12226, caller='none', conn='115200', name='', cmd='/bin/login', user='marksamm' -- Thanks, Chuck
