Freeradius doesn't do routing, it does AAA. What you need is a NAS (Network Access Server) which optionally communicates to a radiusserver via the radius protocol. The NAS can be all sorts of things depending on what you want to accomplish. For example the NAS could be PoPToP (a Linux PPTP VPN implementation) or the NAS could be a Wireless Access Point. When a user wants to connect to the NAS, the NAS will ask the radiusserver if the user may connect and the radiusserver will reject or accept this request.
It's pretty important that you understand this well!

I have some questions I'd like them to Be answered please Here is my network that I'm using freeradius on A----------------B------------------C A--is the client machine and its IP is (192.168.10.5) B--is freeradius and it has 2 NICs and their IPs are (10.10 and 100.100) C--is where all the files and stuff that the client has to reach and its IP is (100.200) (A and C are windows 2000) All the machines can ping each other this done when I set ip_forward in the Linux machine to 1 other wise they can't (apart from machines on same subnet) and I disabled the firewall, actually I'm not using it I'm using NTRad utility to test the functionality of radius And it works perfectly what I'm asking is that 1) has the NAS need to be a sprat machine 2) the client A can reach the shared files in (C) via (B) after enabling the ip_forward...but i can't see any use of freeradius In here i mean i can reach the far end with out having freeradius running, just normal networking. 3) do i need to maintain a specific protocol in order to authenticate against the freeradius and once the user has been authenticated he could gain access to the shared files in the other end (C) If so, would you please tell what i have to do and how. 4)what do prefix and suffix actually mean the users file and what they do thank you jasem Do you Yahoo!?
