We have both Annex's and Portmaster's here at MSU, and I can say from personal
experience, that the Portmasters dont hold a candle to the Annex in terms of
flexibility, and useability. The Annex authentication server works under
freebsd with a little modification, and works quite well. It also exports all
sorts of control to the unix host regarding the authentication process.
