I've mentioned before that I'm developing "ISPd" for ISP's.  It handles
billing of customers, creating accounts, warning customers when expiration
is pending, expiring accounts.  Most everything has a web interface.

One advantage of ISPd is that you almost never need SUID applications.
You can change your password from the command line or from the web
interface and the user programs connect to the server to authorize and
make the change.  ISPd supports both DES and MD5 password hashes.  :)

ISPd currently uses a modified cistron-radiusd for dial up authentication
and logs info to the UTMP file (for current sessions) and to a SQL based
WTMP - like table.  It's excellant and fast for reporting line use and the
like.

If it sounds interesting, take a look at http://ispd.eburg.com/.  There's
no online demo, though I might put one up again soon.  The web page is
also sorta out of date  ;)  It's sorta low profile, but it's _good_
quality code.  Anyone who wants to help out is invited to.
