somewhat reluctantly I would agree with this.... either run FreeRADIUS is its 'full environment' - eg with SAMBA on a Linux BSD etc box - follow all the docs/guides and ensure any local changes are clearly documented, or, run native RADIUS on the Windows box - NPS or IAS - as they are already fully integrated.... oh. there is the 3rd option.... run FreeRADIUS on its own system - and then just proxy the AD stuff to the IAS/NPS box to deal with. this gives you all the power/flexibility of FreeRADIUS and just leverages the IAS/NPS box to do the AD grunt work. (actually, that last option is the most palatable :-) ) alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
