Re: Smaller dial-in systems [was: portslave]
quote who=Russell Coker There's nothing stopping you from running Portslave with a single dial-in line!

Well, RADIUS isn't that hard. A simple radius server can auth from a number of different 'backends'. If you can't do PAM with the Portslave natively, then radius will provide the functionality. If you need any help with getting RADIUS working, give me a shout.

Smaller dial-in systems [was: portslave]
quote who=Russell Coker Anything that can be done by getty, mgetty, radius-client, etc can be done better by Portslave. Is portslave appropriate for a smaller system, say with only three dial-in ports? mgetty is not exactly the most polite software to administer, and there are lots of times I'd like a simple, easy to install, sub-10-port dial-in system.
