Radius 2 & Accounting

Hi all,

I have just joined the list, so forgive me if I ask questions that may have
been answered recently.

We have an shinny new PM2e on eval until the weekend. It came with Radius
1.16 which I have managed to compile for Linux style shadow passwords and
all is working well.

There are a few issuettes that I need to get sorted before I hand the box
back in a couple of days:

1. Where can we get Radius 2? (I can't find it on the Livingston site).

2. I have installed accounting which produces a rather verbose log file.
I'm intersted in hearing about any ISP style scripts for accounting and
monitoring.

3. For legacy reasons, we which to use the DEFAULT login with
password="UNIX". This creates some sub-issues:

a) Are there any scripts that let you monitor who is on line?

b) Is there a way to temporarily disable a users account (say when a
monthly limit is reached) without manually modifying the /etc/passwd file?

4. Are there any major issues an ISP should know about with the PM2e before
shelling out $5.5K?

Sorry to bombard, but I only have the box a couple o days so if anybody can
help or has comments on ANY of these points, we would sure be greatful to
hear from you.

Regards,

Paul Norton
