probably a pretty basic question...

i just want to gather others' suggestions for the best way to authenticate 
users between 2 sites connected by a dedicated T1. All internal private 
addressing is being used...

each site has their own internet access.

DHCP is being used on both internal networks. So if ACL's are used to allow 
certain IP's through, we'll probably run into "lease" issues. (static 
"trusted" machines is an option, i guess.)

besides having the usual ACL's on the router(s)...after they hit the router, 
how could I authenticate users at the gateway, and continue on into the 
remote network? Both networks are Windows 2000. (Trusting both domains could 
also be an option, i guess ;) But that would be 2 domains. Can users from 
one domain use the same credentials on the "dedicated" domain, if they were 
added as users with the same passwords that exist on the already existing 
domain?


To make a difficult long scenario short....

Is there any software I could put on a hardened linux box, that could do 
user authentication?

Any suggestions would be appreciated...thnx.
