Hi All ,
 
I may be asking the question to wrong = mailing list=20 but still would be greatful if someone could help me out or refer me to = the=20 right mailing list. Now the question :
 
I want to do authentication and = accounting for the=20 users on the LAN who use my linux gateway for internet access. My linux = box is=20 running redhat 6.2 along with ipchains and masquerading done. =
 
I have tried using squid for = authentication=20 but username/password functionality i.e. authentication but this = doen`t=20 work with transparent proxying of squid. I doesn`t know = whether PPP=20 over Ethernet can do this  ? 
 
Could anyone suggest me what to do so = that i can=20 authenticate my users on the LAN and also keep and accounting = record  for=20 the usage . Their are commercial versions available in the market doing = the same=20 but i want some freeware .
 
What commercial product do is ..that = they have a=20 client exe running on each machine on which user enters his username and = password and that exe talks to some port no on the gateway = where some sort=20 of modified radius sits which does the user authentication = based on=20 the username/password and IP of the user and the  log is = maintained=20 for the usage.
 
 
Thanks in Advance
