We do, but we only have special entries for those customers with
special requirements - dedicated ISDN lines, static IP dialups or
shell-only customers. Everyone else gets handled by the DEFAULT
entry, which validates accordfing to the /etc/passwd file on our Sun,
and gets the IP address as handled by the PM.
We have to edit this 2-3 times per month, tops.
The only exception is to add our "virtual mailbox" customers - those
people who have a separate, non-dialup account - the script that
sets those folks up on our system automatically adds an "Auth-Type = Reject"
line for them at a certain point in the file.
Basically, if you're adding every new customer to the users file,
you're probably not using RADIUS correctly. It works great for
authenticating users against a UNIX system's password file. Dunno about
NT, since I've never tried it - I'm a Unix weenie from way back, and still
don't think that NT scales up well enough to handle the load we'd throw
at it.
