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. - - Any additional questions can be directed to: - - Alan DeKok (aland@freeradius.org) - - For the latest version and updates, see the main web or ftp site: - -http://www.freeradius.org/ -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. - - Alan DeKok -- cgit v1.2.3
