I'm not sure if we can discuss mgetty in the freeradius-users list, but just to correct your answer I will say that mgetty can recognize different types of the calls like voice, fax, so called AutoPPP, FIDO, UUCP (with prefix in username) and "normal" terminal emulation (character based call). Mgetty then "dispatch" appropriate handler, one of them is /bin/login. So if there is pppd for Linux which can talk to (free)RADIUS it could be possible to have mgetty to differentiate call type and if it detects AutoPPP it can then dispatch RADIUS "enabled" pppd. Portslave is the "real solution", but we all know that already :-). Milan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
