-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- A nice solution: RADIUS server uses hesiod as account directory. Mail server uses hesiod, unless it is something like Cyrus. The RADIUS server and mail server uses Kerberos for authentication. If you must, shell accounts can also be supported by hesiod and Kerberos. Of course, you can't use CHAP with Kerberos, either -- storing passwords in plain text is silly anyway.
