  If I wanted to set up a test dial in server what would I need?

   Something which does dial-in, I guess.  Try searching the net.


H,

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get Free Radius to work with a
dial in server?.  The articles I have read re: creating a dial in server
suggest using ppp with the /etc/password file.

I have been using Windows 2000 RRAS for dial up and it works okay.  I want
to see if I can start using Linux instead.

  Then why not try that?

  In any case, configuring  installing PPP is outside of the scope of
this list.  I suggest asking on a pppd list.

  FreeRADIUS handles only RADIUS.  You'll need something else for
dial-in and modem control.

  As a start, there's nothing in the web pages or documentation which
mentions controlling modems.  That should be a strong hint that
FreeRADIUS doesn't do that.

Freeradius handles authentication, authorisation and accounting. It doesn't handle the dial in process. For that you'll need a network access server. Try mikrotik (www mikrotik.com)

Free Radius Question

2003-10-25 Thread Jamrock
Good day all,

I have been reading a bit about Free Radius but I still have questions.

I need to create a dial in box for a few users.  I need some clarification
on what the software does.

Does Free Radius only handle authentication or does it also manage the dial
in process and control the modem?

If I wanted to set up a test dial in server what would I need?
