Ricci" To: freebsd-isp@freebsd.org Subject: Authenticating dial-ins Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-isp@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk We've got two FreeBSD machines, and would like to use one as a terminal server and the other as mail/web/ftp sever (right now, everything's on the terminal server.) What would be the best way to keep identical password files on both machines, or use the web server's password file to authenticate users on the terminal server? The terminal server uses a cyclades card. Right now, we use mgetty to answer the modems, which then fires up pppd. We're also able to nfs mount between the two machines.
