Accounting - Redundant Postgres DB == to other DBMS such as MySQL, Oracle its: 1. No license fee 2. Less Security Vulnerabilities 3. Easier to replacate 4. Lends to a Decentralized / Virtually Centralized DBMS topology, which is better for security applications 5. Better Transaction Processing Performance 6. Less overhead 7. Control of source 8. Scales well 9. Faster Auth/Authr - Multiple flat files crypted pass (by Realm) with custom admin system (1000 and 5000 users per Realm / Group) Reason: Compared to DBMS its: 1. Faster 2. Easier to Maintain 3. More Reliable 4. More Secure 5. Independent Fault Tolerant 6. More flexibility for customization. > b) If you do not use a DB backend for FreeRadius, but do have a > DB on your server or in your rack, what DB is it? > see A > c) If you do not use a DB backend for FreeRadius, but do have a > DB on your server or in your rack, why don't you use it as a > backend to FreeRadius? > see A > Please reply to this thread on the mailing list or to me directly > (I am one of the developers) if you wish to keep the info > private.
