I was administering a previous system setup by someone else up until
recently. On that system, as far as I could determine/remember (Linux,
v1.16 radiusd, PM-2ER running ComOS 3.x) it was setup with entries in the
users file like such:
DEFAULT%ppp% Password = "UNIX"
etc.
DEFAULT%slip% Password = "UNIX"
etc.
DEFAULT Password = "UNIX"
etc.
After creating an account on our (authentication) server (via /etc/passwd
only), the user, using only one login name (ie. no suffixed or prefixed
letters for seperate logins) would get the "login: " prompt if using a
normal comms terminal program to get a shell session on our server after
logging in (or I'm tipping if they logged in as "username%ppp%" say, it
would initiate PPP also, but I never tried this), or if the PM detected LCP
frames (ie. they used Win95 dialup networking or Trumpet Winsock with PAP
enabled) it would start trying to authenticate instantly using PAP..
But since installing a new PM-2ER, and radiusd 1.16 from the CD, I find
that I must configure our users individually in the users file if I want to
give them either PPP or (C)SLIP, and choose a default protocol or login
procedure for the "DEFAULT" user (I never took a copy of anything they were
using).
I've looked at the PCSuser (unsupported) patch at ftp.livingston.com, but
that is not what I wanted. I also scanned the new features blurb for v2.0
radiusd and find that it still does not do exactly what I describe above.
Would they have hacked this themselves? Has anyone heard/using something
similar? Was very neat.
Oh, I'd appreciate any accounting scripts/systems anyone is using that I
could use to gather times at the end of the month from the detail file, and
pull individual times for a given user at any other time of the month
otherwise.
Any pointers appreciated,
James
