PAM_RADIUS_AUTH

[Sobanbabu Bakthavathsalu]

Hi Nick,

Thank you for the response. There is no firewall in between the RADIUS server and Solaris server (RADIUS client), only an Cisco router with standard ACL. I have verified the ACL matches counter and found that the request from the clinet itself is not reachign the router.
Is that host entries in /etc/hosts file wont work for this, do I need a DNS server for RADIUS server name authentication to work with pam_radius_auth.

The server in question is not configured for any DNS server for name resolution, it uses the hosts file only.
Hope this provides more information.

Regards
Soban

Lots of times this is a firewall issue where the port opening is set
for tcp and not UDP.  check that.  Check that both are using port
1812, if that is what you are using.  Have you edited your telnet pam
entry?  I'm not familiar with solaris, but that is what I would check.

More info would be helpful too.

HTH,

Nick
