I have been asked to setup Radius to authenticate a modem connection by connecting to our Mysql database. I have read the Radius documentation more than once and i attribute my difficulties to a poor understanding of PPP connections on Linux. I just don't understand what are the necessary attributes that Radius has to pass back to the modem in order for the connection to be made. The modem is dialing into a Cisco modem bank here at our office where the Mysql databse is as well. I have been given a query for Radius to do that will get the authentication from Mysql but i am so far from that portion of the setup, i don't know where to look first.

From where i stand it seems like i could keep reading the Radius documentation and still never understand what needs to be done because i am lacking some more fundamental information that is required to put the pieces together.

Can anyone point me to some basic documentation that might firm up my understanding of what needs to be done? Thanks, Mike Partyka Jumpnode Systems, LLC Systems Administrator (612)605-5056 Desk (612)605-3510 Fax
