Hello, I'm new to the Radius PAM client, so I hope I'm writing to the correct place. I have an existing Radius server and I'm trying to install the PAM module on an FC6 box in order to authenticate SSH logins to the machine against the Radius server. The install instructions at http://www.freeradius.org/pam_radius_auth/ only include RedHat and after running the 'make', I'm not seeing the configuration files referred to in the instructions. If anyone has successfully installed the PAM module on FC6, I would very, very much appreciate some assistance! Thank you all! -Tobias

What configuration files don't you see on your system? You should *only* copy pam_radius_auth.so to /lib/security and then edit some (existing) system config files in /etc/pam.d, e.g. /etc/pam.d/system-auth. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204
Thank you Jos...I did copy the pam_radius_auth.so successfully and started looking thru the /etc/pam.d/ directory, but I also need to configure the module to access the IP of my radius server (not sure where that happens!). The syntax in the installation instructions have arguments that aren't specified in the /etc/pam.d/ configuration files, so that threw me off. Sorry for being so unintelligent about this - I'm a developer, trying to branch out into system administration...slowly... -----Original Message----- From: freeradius-users-bounces+tobias.heaton=unh.edu@lists.freeradius.org [mailto:freeradius-users-bounces+tobias.heaton=unh.edu@lists.freeradius. org] On Behalf Of Jos Vos Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 11:26 AM To: FreeRadius users mailing list Subject: Re: Fedora Core 6 Installation On Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 11:17:31AM -0400, Heaton, Tobias wrote:

The instructions at the bottom say: You will need a server configuration file. An example is given in the file pam_radius_auth.conf. You will need to copy this file to /etc/raddb/server. The file MUST be secure! i.e. chown root /etc/raddb chmod go-rwx /etc/raddb chmod go-rwx /etc/raddb/server See 'USAGE' for details of the configuration file. I guess that's where your're looking for. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204
Exactly - but I don't have the pam_radius_auth.conf nor the /etc/raddb/server directory, so I'm lost! -----Original Message----- From: freeradius-users-bounces+tobias.heaton=unh.edu@lists.freeradius.org [mailto:freeradius-users-bounces+tobias.heaton=unh.edu@lists.freeradius. org] On Behalf Of Jos Vos Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 11:41 AM To: FreeRadius users mailing list Subject: Re: Fedora Core 6 Installation On Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 11:30:22AM -0400, Heaton, Tobias wrote:

Well, the file can be found here http://www.freeradius.org/pam_radius_auth/pam_radius_auth.conf and the directory you should create yourself. -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xos.nl> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204
