Hey all, Two questions, related to SQL... 1: I recently became enamored by the power of SQL, and while I find no easy way through SQL to do multiple check-items easily in a logical fall-throughable order. I.e. through SQL how would one do (for an entry level tech): Jeremy nas-ip-address="the vpn server" password="x" Service-Type = "Framed-User" # Our switches, which we trust jeremy not to mess up Jeremy password = "y" Service-Type = "Admin-User" Jeremy nas-ip-address="a big powerful router" Service-Type = Reject I see an easy way to return items based on group membership (which seems to be rather 1:n right now, i.e. it doesn't appear that a person can be a member of more than one group). With the standard tables. I.e. I'm not sure how the various items are "linked" and ordered where you are able to have multiple instances of the same usernames, but varying other auth attributes. I do think I've found a happy medium (albeit with a more complex join/union system on the backend) -- but it involves embedding a lot of values into the query, which shouldn't be the case (I couldn't find a really-advanced example anywhere -- if anyone has one, I would LOVE to see it (as it translates to a "normal" users file. I'm not using this for dialup, instead we're using it for network management (because RADIUS is a good common denominator, far better than tac+). For that reason, we're going to have a lot of specific instances where we do (or don't) want people to have very specific types of access. 2: My second question is, now that I've got a list of all my NASes in SQL, has anyone written (or added to beta or something similar) code to do *those* via SQL? Specifically we already have all our network devices (and shared secrets) in a SQL database anyway, and it would be cool to use them in realtime. I could just as easily bang together a perl script for this, and throw it in a crontab with a HUP tool (every hour or whatnot) -- and I would be happy to contibute such a script, but I'd like to know I'm not reinventing the wheel (especially because SQL-realtime is so much cooler than "once an hour"). Any ideas GREATLY appreciated. -Dan -- --------Dan Mahoney-------- Techie, Sysadmin, WebGeek Gushi on efnet/undernet IRC ICQ: 13735144 AIM: LarpGM Site: http://www.gushi.org ---------------------------
