radius8

Usage

Overview

radius is an nnrpd authenticator, accepting a username and password from nnrpd (given to nnrpd by a reader connection) and attempting to authenticate that username and password against a RADIUS server. See readers.conf(5) for more information on how to configure an nnrpd authenticator. It is useful for a site that already does user authentication via RADIUS and wants to authenticate news reading connections as well.

By default, radius reads pathetc/inn-radius.conf for configuration information, but a different configuration file can be specified with -f. See inn-radius.conf(5) for a description of the configuration file.

Options

-f config

Read config instead of pathetc/inn-radius.conf for configuration information.

-h

Print out a usage message and exit.

Examples

The following readers.conf(5) fragment tells nnrpd to authenticate all connections using this authenticator:

    auth radius {
        auth: radius
        default: <FAIL>
        default-domain: example.com
    }

"@example.com" will be appended to the user-supplied identity, and if RADIUS authentication fails, the user will be assigned an identity of "<FAIL>@example.com".
