First set your ports to "login" (as opposed to "network"), set the host
to "prompt", and set up an access filter to control which hosts they can
connect to.
set s1 login
set s1 host prompt
set s1 ifilter <acces-filter>
reset s1
When they connect, they will see a "host:" prompt. All they have to know
is the hostname of the box they want to connect to. They'll get a normal
login prompt at that host.
If you need to give them some info, you can do something like:
set s1 message Welcome.^Use host:foo for library,^host:bar for UNIX.
You can also have a radius server authenticate all users before passing
them along to the hosts, but it sounds like that may not be necessary in
your case.
BTW, I would like to pipe up and say "Hey, why aren't more people doing
what we do?" with regards to this issue in general. We use Merit radius
and a host prompt. All of our users can get ppp, slip, or shell with no
username prefixes or suffixes and no special radius configuration. I
just add them to /etc/passwd and they're on. Most of them never even see
the host prompt because they use PAP. It's great!
