I have been doing some reading re: radius.
When should one use radius?
I have read that radius is useful when one needs a centralized user/password
database. I guess that would be good when one has lots of remote access
servers.
I have read that radius is good when one needs accounting.
We just need a dial in solution for 6 or so users. No accounting is
necessary. What are the disadvantages of using a simple ppp solution that
authenticates against the /etc/passwd file on a Linux box?
We were thinking of using a pci card with 8 modems.
Is radius overkill for us or is it a more secure solution?
Any advice/links to documentation would be useful.
