Starting a Radius / Nas in openbsd

[C. Diego Raffaelli A.]

Hi all:

Before any ask, i would like to know if it is possible to bring up a
OpenBSD System with an authentication server (Radius or any) wich can
bring usernames and password for users.

I have a big "LAN" (accross the city) and i would like to use an
Radius or any way to authenticate them, but not using IP or MAC.

And other requeriment is to manage bandwidth for each one of them.

Any idea? Am i right using OpenBSD and trying to use Radius and/or NAS??

Thanks in advance...

The well respected RADIUS implementation called "FreeRADIUS" at:

   <http://freeradius.org/>

is very portable and ought to run just fine on OpenBSD.  I may not
be understanding all points of your question, but I have found that
FreeRADIUS did everything I needed (and there was lots more it could
do that I didn't need at the time).  YMMV.

RADIUS Authentication and RADIUS Accounting are what you want, but
that's off-topic for this list.

Look in ports for RADIUS servers.

Good luck.
