Hi All ,
I may be asking the question to wrong mailing list
but still would be greatful if someone could help me out or refer me to the
right mailing list. Now the question :
I want to do authentication and accounting for the
users on the LAN who use my linux gateway for internet access. My linux box is
running redhat 6.2 along with ipchains and masquerading done.
I have tried using squid for authentication
but username/password functionality i.e. authentication but this doen`t
work with transparent proxying of squid. I doesn`t know whether PPP
over Ethernet can do this ?
Could anyone suggest me what to do so that i can
authenticate my users on the LAN and also keep and accounting record for
the usage . Their are commercial versions available in the market doing the same
but i want some freeware .
What commercial product do is ..that they have a
client exe running on each machine on which user enters his username and
password and that exe talks to some port no on the gateway where some sort
of modified radius sits which does the user authentication based on
the username/password and IP of the user and the log is maintained
for the usage.
Thanks in Advance
Deepak
