- pam_radius_auth.c
- ===================
-
- This is the PAM to RADIUS authentication module. It allows any
-Linux or Solaris machine to become a RADIUS client for authentication
-and password change requests. You will need to supply your own RADIUS
-server to perform the actual authentication.
-
- The latest version has a simple merger of the original pam_radius
-session accounting code which will work *only* on Linux.
-
- See INSTALL for instructions on building and installing this module.
-I have successfully used it for RADIUS authentication on RedHat 4.2,
-RedHat 5.x, RedHat 6.x, and Solaris 2.6.
-
- A number of options are supported by this module. See USAGE for
-more details.
-
- Care should be taken when configuring RADIUS authentication. Your
-RADIUS server should have a minimal set of machines in it's 'clients'
-file. The server should NOT be visible to the world at large, but
-should be contained behind a firewall. If your RADIUS server is
-visible from the Internet, a number of attacks become possible.

-ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/radius/
-
-
- The pam_radius_auth module based on an old version of Cristian
-Gafton's pam_radius.c, and on an Apache module I wrote a while back.
-(mod_auth_radius.c, also on ftp://ftp.freeradius.org/pub/radius/).
-
- The source contains a full suite of RADIUS functions, instead of
-using libpwdb. It makes sense, because we want it to compile
-out of the box on Linux and Solaris 2.6. I also wasn't able to find
-much documentation for RADIUS authentication support in libpwdb, so I
-rolled my own.
-
- There are minimal restrictions on using the code, as set out in the
-disclaimer and copyright notice in pam_radius_auth.c.
-
- Building it is straightforward: use GNU make, and type 'make'. If
-you've got some other weird make, you'll have to edit the Makefile to
-remove the GNU make directives 'ifeq', 'else', etc.
