NAME
       radius -	nnrpd RADIUS password authenticator

SYNOPSIS
       radius [-h] [-f config]

DESCRIPTION
       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.

EXAMPLE
       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".

BUGS
       It  has	been reported that this	authenticator doesn't work with	Ascend
       RADIUS servers, but does	work with Cistron RADIUS servers.   It's  also
       believed	 to  work  with	 Livingston's RADIUS server.  Contributions to
       make it work better with	different types	of  RADIUS  servers  would  be
       gratefully accepted.

       This  code has not been audited against the RADIUS protocol and may not
       implement it correctly.

HISTORY
       The RADIUS authenticator	was originally written by Aidan	 Cully.	  This
       documentation was written by Russ Allbery <eagle@eyrie.org>.
