Hi everyone maybe you can help me.<br><br>I have a small network of about 10 windows XP machines. I need to set these machines up so that my users can log into any of these machines.<br><br>For me the simplest solution to solve this would be a windows 2003 server domain controller. Unfortunately due to some corporate restrictions I cannot install a windows server.<br><br>I was told that a Radius server could accomplish the same thing for me. Is this true?<br><br>Basically I just need a way for my users to sit down at any of the windows XP workstations and log into it. I don't need anything special like "roaming profiles" and such.<br><br>All I need is for a way for a windows user to sit down at any computer and type in a user name and password in order to gain access to use the computer. I saw the tutorials online but I don't think this is what I need. Something about setting up a VPN and adding certs and such. I need freeRadius to control access to user the computer not to gain access to a network resource.<br><br>I have installed freeRadius and got it up and running on openSUSE but I am not really sure how to configure it according to what I need (if it can be done at all).<br><br>Am I making sense or am I way off base?<br><br>Does someone have a document I can follow that will tell me how to configure freeradius so that my windows users can authenticate against it?<br><br>thanks <br /><hr />Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390707/direct/01/' target='_new'>Sign up now.</a></body>
