(don't see why this was on -current) In response to gahn <ipfreak@yahoo.com>: > hi all: > > i set up the freeradius 21.100.1 on freebsd 8.1. it uses local authentication database of /etc/passwd (thanks to the previous discussions alan did with others). the problem is: it only works with the condition of the server id running as "root" instead of "freeradius" due to the one way MD5 hash of /etc/passwd file. > > are there any other better ways to implement this? a) Put the Radius server in a jail, so it can run as root without all the security concerns. b) Use something other than /etc/passwd authentication -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com http://people.collaborativefusion.com/~wmoran/
