(RADIATOR) Accounting

[jsajjad at mail.cyberaccess.com.pk]

Hi Hugh,

Things are confusing here.How could we logon into a NT machine database
(having MS SQL databse) directly from Linux radiator only by defining 
hostname and database in DBSource clause.As on first level a NT host
requires its admin passwd for remote logon and then in second level we
could then enter into its database. Also i have studied radiator's FAQs
in which section 13 refers a software named 'OpenLink's Multi-Tier ODBC'
for connecting MS SQL Server from Linux host- let me know what is it.
Is there any concept of DSN for Linux ODBC like we use on NT machines
for external database connectivity? Also let me know kindly that 
Radiator's Accounting is valid for both MS SQL 6.5 and 7.0?
