Hello List: This question is for somebody who is using 3Com TC with freeRADIUS!!! In freeRADIUS file naspasswd (/usr/local/etc/raddb/naspasswd) has an entry for NAS as follows: <NAS ip-address> <login-Name> <password> Is the <NAS ip-address> of NAS is the IP address assigned to HiPerARC or something else? What is the <login-Name>? Where is it setup in 3Com TC? Where is the <password> setup in 3Com TC? I also notice that in "naspasswd" file the sample <login-Name> is "!root". I understand the "root" login-Name but why "!" ahead of it? What does it mean? Lots of questions & thanks. Kirti

I don't use freeRadius but I use ICRadius which was developed by one of the developers of the freeradius deal. I believe that file is only used if you are going to call external scripts that would need to login to the NAS. TC would do most things via SNMP. The "!" is standard programming term for "NOT". As in Don't use the root user and password here because someone might be able to get it, use it, and whipe you out.
But, yes, that would normally be the ARC password. -- Lewis Bergman Texas Communications 4309 Maple St. Abilene, TX 79602-8044 915-695-6962 ext 115
Hi Kirti,
In freeRADIUS file naspasswd (/usr/local/etc/raddb/naspasswd) has an entry for NAS as follows: <NAS ip-address> <login-Name> <password> Is the <NAS ip-address> of NAS is the IP address assigned to HiPerARC or something else? What is the <login-Name>? Where is it setup in 3Com TC? Where is the <password> setup in 3Com TC? I also notice that in "naspasswd" file the sample <login-Name> is "!root". I understand the "root" login-Name but why "!" ahead of it? What does it mean?
A couple of things, firstly you don't need to enter anything in the naspasswd file if you are using a USR/3Com HiPER ARC. Those entries were only needed on the older pre-HiPER USR/3Com systems. On those older systems freeradius actually had to telnet in using the special username of !root (which specifically logs you into the terminal server) in order to do some functions such as check which users are online. The HiPER ARC does all of this through SNMP so the entries are no longer needed. About all you need to configure is something like the following into your clients.conf (substituting the IP address of your HiPER ARC, the correct secret and short name)... client 123.123.123.123 { secret = mysecret shortname = nas1 nastype = usrhiper } Cheers,
