Hi

Question:

I'm looking for an RADUIS enabled PPPd that works with FBSD.
And/or who can start a port or a new implementation.

Hints:

I've found one for LINUX: http://homepage.cistron.nl/~miquels/radius/
and there is a try-to-port on ftp.lucky.net/pub/unix/local
but this does not work with PPP

Story:

I'm operating a small ISP in Switzerland and until now
we've used M$soft NT4.0 for dial-in (dial-in is not our
core business). Anyway the dial-in user's are getting more and
more and I've problems to deal with NT users on more than
one server and to keep it in sync (we've new opened more POP's).

I'm also running several FreeBSD boxes as web, mail and ftp
servers and I'm very happy with it.

After some night's of syncronising NT users and a look on
the price list of Livingston I've decided to use PC's
with standard multi-serial cards as teminal servers with
RADIUS auth.

This is possible on LINUX, but I'm a FreeBSD fan, so I've
done some research for this on FBSD with little success.
