Hello freeradius-users, I've spent my free time the last few weeks searching for information on setting up and configuring radius. I have a friend who owns a small ISP currently with an antique Red Hat 7.0 machine running a radius server (version unknown) doing triple duty as his mail and DNS server (was doing web hosting too, but I moved that). We want very much to replace this server before the hardware fails, and spread the services out to several different machines. (We're thinking ahead- the existing server is still functional, thank $DIETY.) His current system is using an /etc/raddb/users file, and unless the format has changed significantly, or there are other good reasons to change I'd like to keep it that way. (I know too little about databases or LDAP)
Very little information seems to be available other than the FAQ at freeradius.org, and even that leaves me wanting. I have downloaded the entire mailing list archive for this list, and plan to do a bit of searching of it as needed. Already I have found the freeradius-0.8-1.src.rpm using the archive and I'm hoping it will 'rpmbuild --rebuild' cleanly. I plan on using Red Hat Linux Advanced Server 2.1 as the distribution (I work for Red Hat, so we can avoid the obligatory distro-wars) I gather I must run freeradius on the radius server, and some sort of client on the email server to authenticate the users there for getting their email. I'd appreciate a quick pointer to what client software is needed, but if not I'm sure I can sift it out of the archive. Thanks in advance, -- Chris Kloiber - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
