Your response may be my salvation.
First let me explain what I am doing. I have a temporary testbed (a RH 6.2 server) authentication server. I am running freeRADIUS-1.0.1. The authentication protocol is PAP.
If the testing goes OK, I plan to setup mySQL database. All user information will be stored in mySQL DB and free RADIUS will use this DB to authenticate.
Your method will work for me. It gives me the opportunity to set different time-out for different users. Similarly, I can setup other attributes specific to each user, if I so desire.
I have set up the freeRADIUS server but have never setup attributes. If you can send me how you setup the attributes in RADIUS, I maybe able to set freeRadius. Another settings which I may need help with is the proper filters to make TC look like a Firewall.
First, I would suggest yout try CentOS instead of RH6.2. 6.2 is rather outdated, unsupported, and the kernel route implimentation has some shortcommings. CentOS is a RHEL3 rebuild from source. Second, if you look at the freradius docs you will find all the info you need on attributes. All the RFC's are in the docs, most common venders are enabled by default in freeradius. If you are going to use MySQL I wouldn't bother to much with trying to understand LDAP since it is more difficult for most people to grasp. Also, the standard freeradius sql setup supports groups in both check and reply to ease the number of individual entries need to be made to the user table. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 325-691-3301 800-299-6962
