No. Portslave is usually installed on one host (NAS) while the the radius server (be it cistron or any other) is on another. Portslave is RADIUS client, so it can talk to every RADIUS server without any proxy or gateway. > cistron-radius would be the slave radius server sending requests to the > main radius.

(less I doctor the ppp binaries, thus recreating the wheel). I don't understand what you want to do with portslave. Portslave is a NAS, but more strictly it is dial-in NAS. If you just want to send RADIUS packets to server there is radclient (in the freeradius package) that can do that. Libraries for many programming languages can be found on the Net, also.
