AuthBy EXTERNAL not working ?

[Adrian]

Hi,

I'm trying to use an external program to check that
users have a valid shell on my server before they
are authenticated.

I've written the program that extracts the username
from the attributes and looks up the shell and exits
with 1 or 2, but I can't get Radiator to use the exit
status correctly.  I've created several programs (in C,
perl, bourne) that simply run and then exit (with 1),
but Radiator always seems to accept it and keep going.

Here is my Radiator config snipit:


<AuthBy EXTERNAL>
         Identifier CheckValidShell
         Command /usr/local/etc/radius/valid_shell
</AuthBy>


<AuthBy GROUP>
         Identifier CheckUsers
         AuthByPolicy ContinueUntilAccept
         AuthBy CheckValidShell
         AuthBy CheckSystem
</AuthBy>


I'd very much appreciate any suggestions,
Thanks,
Adrian.
