Just remember that radius is nothing more than a fancy authentication system. It basically returns yay or nah to another system. What you want to do is start working out the details of that other system.

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your prompt reply. We do have a firewall, but are wishing to implement a solution which provides more central control and logging as a gateway to the firewall and the services which sit in the DMZ.
The link to the manuals you sent is great, from the quick look I have had at what is supplied it has most if not everything in the way of information I was after. I will start reading through it and see if radius will give me the solution I am after
Thanks again Brett

I would like to implement a radius gateway on the network I manage. How I would like to see it work is that the internal network has to pass through the radius gateway to access any of the backend servers. This way I can have the clients authenicate through the radius gateway and only be allowed access to each of the different services sitting behind the radius server such as, web-proxy, mail, CRM database, Intranet and so.
I think you are wanting a VPN or at least a firewall. Check this link out for a good VPN/firewall solution:

Is this possible with freeradius or are only dialup logins possible? Can anyone point me to a location which I can read up on radius? As I haven't been able to find much detail information about different implementaion and the different methods radius can be used. Has anyone tried this before?
A location to read up on radius: http://portmasters.com/tech/docs/manuals.html
That site is for portmaster NAS's, but there is also a RADIUS for UNIX Administrator's Guide which has lots of good info in it.
Hope that helps!
Nick
