If possible, we'd like to set things up so that our existing users don't even notice the switch. That means that if they log in as their regular userid (say "jdoe" for discussion) they get a Unix shell, but if they log in as Pjdoe they get PPP. I know I can individually set password entries that way with RADIUS, but is there a simpler way to do this? I'd like to know now, so I can hack out the quick programs I'll have to right if I'm missing something in the simple documentation that accompanies RADIUS. Or, if I could just get some docs that have the whole thing; Livingston's ftp site just has Postscript of chapter 6, for some reason. I'd be happy to RTFM if I could get the FM... :-) Shawn McMahon | Smokesignals Computer Company Senior System Operator | Southern Oklahoma's Internet Service Provider Chickasaw Nation Net | 405 332-0033 http://www..chickasaw.com
