freeradius2 and pam

just a quick rant while i build up steam on this particular issue.

Why oh why is this so ridiculously hard? I can find lots of advice on how to get freeradius1 integrated with pam, but the naming conventions and the shared libraries are different in FR2, and for the life of me, I can’t find any indication of which FR2 library I need to add to PAM so it (PAM) can use FR2 to authenticate a user. BLEAH!

  1. I’ve spent years wondering how I could make a living making all of these OSS things actually work together and properly documenting not just each product (which sometimes is appalling too) but how they work together.

    O’Reilly books are excellent, but they never seem to describe what I actually need to do.
