ppp radius-plugin

[guest01]

Hi

I want to use radius authentication for pptp. Therefor I need the
radius.so-plugin, which isn't included
in the Debian default installation of ppp 2.4.2b3. So I compiled it
manually (thank god there was
a makefile) and copied it to the right path. (/usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2b3/).
Everything worked fine.
Then I added "plugin radius.so" to pptp-options, startet the pptp-server
and tried to connect but
I get the following error:

/usr/sbin/pppd: /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.2b3/radius.so: undefined symbol:
chap_auth_hook
/usr/sbin/pppd: Couldn't load plugin radius.so

I installed pppd as a binary packet and compiled the right version of
the radius-plugin.
Has anyone an idea or solution?

I think a better question, would be how to build a debian package of
your own that supports this. I took a stab at it, but I'm stuck
shortly after:

apt-get source ppp

As a dry run, I did dpkg-buildpackage -d -uc -us -nc, but it fails on
missing deps (not the least bit surprised on this box). but I did find
plenty of references for radius by:

grep -ril radius ./

from that deb-src directory...

I'll keep an eye on this thread, hopefully we'll both learn something.
BTW, I've had good luck with most packages before by apt-get source,
and tweaking the rules and control files to trim the fat, or add
features I need. There's still room for improvement myself, but I
hope that helps.

Thank you,

Hi

I just upgraded to an actual unstable version, only for testing purposes ...
ppp (2.4.3-20041231+1) has already built in this modul! With this
package, it works. But now I have authentication problems ...
It seems this is a neverending story! ;-)
