Jeff,
        You can bypass that and get RPMS already built. There are several
different RADIUS servers for linux that will build on the RAQ units. I've
done quite a few.
        What is good about RadiusX is that is intergrates with the
Microsoft SQL billing backend that the Emerald billing software uses. This
is a VERY complete, VERY useful, and VERY well written accounting and
billing program. With LDAP intergration, it is possible to create an
account on the SQL server, have it replicated to an LDAP server and never
have to touch the Linux server to create it. Also, if the user does not
pay his bill, his account is shut off automatically.


Does the Emerald software run on the RaQ as well ? Im off the the ISPCON Show London on the 17th so will ask anyway.

I am looking for a complete package that does every thing on one BOX if possible?

Barry


I am greatly simplifying it, but for users of the Emerald billing package,
having RadiusX available to run on the Linux platform instead of IEA's
RadiusNT on NT removes one more dependence on a Microsoft product.
