We are consolidating servers and moving from a BSD/OS and ICRadius setup and auth'ing via passwd file to FreeBSD. I have run into an issue with authenticating and how I should do it. Our old setup had a web interface designed 7 yrs ago, written in C, which the developer is no longer around and most of the source has gone too that we entered users into the passwd file to login via dialup. So my options are to a) move the passwd file from another machine over the network and build a new one each time or b) auth via database. Will FreeRadius auth via mySQL using the unix crypt? I have no way of adding the users into a database with their passwords. Or long way of capturing each users password from ICRadius and adding them to the database. Has anyone else converted from a passwd file to a database of some variety? Thanks for any info. Keith
