Phil you examples was straight on, and very helpful. I ended up using SQLgroup within "/etc/freeradius/users + huntgrousps" and the groups that I've created & it worked the very 1st time, & with no problems. To answer your other question, this is with freeradius version;
root@TACACS:/etc/init.d# freeradius -v | grep Version freeradius: FreeRADIUS Version 1.1.3, for host i486-pc-linux-gnu, built on Mar 30 2007 at 22:44:34 root@TACACS:/etc/init.d# Thanks -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] on behalf of Phil Mayers Sent: Tue 6/28/2011 3:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: how to use groups within freeradius On 06/27/2011 09:29 PM, Ken Felix wrote: > > Can anybody post a simple howto with regards to using groups within > freeradius?

Anyway, the group config you've written doesn't do what you want. All it says is "if you're this username and coming from these IPs, you're in the gruop". You're not actually acting in the group membership. There are lots of ways to do this, but personally I prefer to keep SQL groups entirely user-based, and use huntgroups for NAS IPs, then compare the two. So: raddb/huntgrousp: restricted NAS-IP-Address == 192.0.2.1 raddb/sites-enabled/xxx: authozie { if (Huntgroup-Name == restricted) { if (SQL-Group == "restricted") { # ok to login } else { reject } } } ...or if you prefer to us a "users" file, in raddb/users: DEFAULT Huntgroup-Name == restricted, SQL-Group == "restricted" Fall-Through = No DEFAULT Huntgroup-Name == restricted, Auth-Type := Reject Fall-Through = No There are lots of other ways to accomplish this. The point being, you need to actually check the group, and if you define the group so that it depends on the username, and they thing they're permitted to access, then you're essentially writing a whitelist and would need something like, in your example, raddb/users: DEFAULT SQL-Group == xxx Fall-Through = No DEFAULT SQL-Group == yyy Fall-Through = No DEFAULT Auth-Type := Reject - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
