You couldn't have asked a better question :)Question: Can someone point me to a good advisory on how to setup Linux to be a dial-in server? What I mean is not merely dial-in, but using the same box to route out to the Internet like an ISP. I've found information on dialing in with mingetty but found the information rather vague and nothing I've found seemed to allowing users to get out to the 'Net. I'm currently using an NT server with RAS but really want to get off of this server. Any links, info, etc. would be appreciated! Thanks.
What you need is 3 packages:
* freeradius
* radiusclient
* portslave
You can find the last two at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/portslave/
and the first at:
http://www.freeradius.org/
On each of these packages, do a ./configure, make and make install (starting with freeradius, then radiusclient then portslave, in that order). You'll also need the pppd tar gz file in the parent directory of portslave to compile portslave.
From there, read the docs that accompany the packages on how to set them up,they are extremely powerful products yet very simple to setup.
I used to run portslave and cistron radius on a Red Hat 6.0 box (old setup but worked reliably for over 4 years, no issues), but 2 weeks ago decided it was time to upgrade, so grabbed RH8.0, the latest packages and went through the process. A couple of hours later I had a working radius environment, tested it for a few days then put it into production.
Should have done the upgrade years ago.
Michael.
