This is not quite true. He could modify RADIUS to run an "expect" script
when that user logs in and the "expect" script can reset the idle time on
the port. Then when the customer disconnects, the "expect" script can
turn idle time back on.
A similar solution has been used in the past to add and delete static
host routes in order to achive variable length subnet masking in the PM's.

I had this problem myself, and I found that the standard INN 1.4sec2
version would not "stat" an article. So, Netscape, Lynx, and a few other
things would not read articles, though it would get a list...
The solution was to upgrade to the INN1.4unoff2 distribution that was
announced on the news.software.nntp newsgroup. If you can't find it, I
wouldn't mind tarring up my source distribution for you and stuffing it
in my ftp site for any and all.

I have plans to release a version of Merit RADIUS in the near future

not quite sure if it works the way we want it to, and I am not 100%

Subject: DEFAULT setting in ./raddb/users
I'm trying to learn more about this setting.
Am I correct in assuming that if I have a DEFAULT user, and have
that user's password as 'UNIX' that radius would look up whatever
user name was entered in the passwd/shadow files and check for that
individual's password?
The end objective here is to allow anyone who has an account with a
password on the radius server machine to gain access via the portmaster.
I'm hoping that this would then obviate the need to both add a user account
to the server AS WELL AS add that same user to the ./raddb/users.
Thanks in advance!

You got lucky.
Don't use it in 2.4, it eats Portmasters. Corrupts them and the you have a
down unit you can't recover from 2.4. If you have another OS you're ok, if
not, trouble.
If you do an upgrade, it wipes the flash in preparation to load the new

You can netboot the unit and then reinstall ComOS (assuming you have an OS
other than 2.4). If you don't have a host to use, once you netboot it, we
can do the reinstall from here if we can reach it.
Netbooting instructions are on the support web page.

It isn't our bug, it is Sun's actually. They munged part of the kernel in
2.4 and that is causing the problem.
It is a 'bug by association', they make our package fail when it shouldn't.
It isn't in the docs because it is new, and the pmconsole was out before
2.4. It was out, worked fine on 2.3, then 2.4 came out and broke it. And
we haven't been able to write around it as of yet.
We're not the only one who's code was broken by 2.4, I know that first hand.
It has been mentioned on the mailing list before though, that's the best
way we have of spreading the word.

If this is a 56K leased line sync PPP connection, you would need an
async/sync converter in there. But my first impression is that would work.

Assuimg you are talking about an S (async rs232) port, then yes, IFF
csu/dsu's are something like an Adtran 5600 or DSU-III that does
async to sync conversion.

Except that won't work, because you have to reset the port for the new
setting of idletime to take effect, and that drops the customer off.
A future release will provide Idle-Timeout and Session-Timeout as RADIUS
attributes, so you can set both on a per-user basis.

Subject: routes and netmasks
Is the host route to host 0 legal? For example, is 192.0.0.0/32 legal?
I ask this question because Livingston allows to create such routes
easiely:
1) add route 192.0.0.0 some.gate.way 1
All 192.0.0.x traffic goes to some.gate.way
2) add netmask 192.0.0.0 255.255.255.255
All 192.0.0.x traffic goes via default gateway (perhaps
traffic to host 192.0.0.0 would go to some.gate.way but
I never tried this)
And now a trick:
3) add route 192.0.0.0 some.gate.way 1
Oops, now I have two routes to 192.0.0.0 which appear
identical on 'show route' display, but are different
internally. It seems that ComOS stores the current value
of netmask for the network along with the route itself.
Wouldn't it be more logical to display the netmask in
'show route' output? And get rid of add/del netmask commands?
Unfortunately this behavior prevents from installing a 'black hole'
BTW cisco replies with 'Inconsistent address and mask' when you try
'ip route 192.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 a.b.c.d'.

Just get Alladdin's stuffit installer maker. It's exactly the same
