(RADIATOR) Radius enabled NNTP redirector, authenticator and accounter

[Mike McCauley]

Hello all,

Afer a lengthy period of testing with a carrier in Germany, we a pleased to 
announce the availability of nntp-redirect.

nntp-redirect is a Radius-enabled NNTP (Net News) port authenticator and
accountor.  This program received NNTP connection requests,
authenticates each one with Radius, and then forwards the NNTP
connection to the real NNTP serer. It counts bytes in and out,
and at the end of the NNTP session sends Radius accounting
data counting the total news traffic in and out for the users connection. This 
allows
you to integrate NNTP authentication and accounting with the
rest of your Radius services.  Reply attributes in the
Access-Accept can be used to configure the NNTP server and
port to redirect to, allowing per-user NNTP configuration via
Radius.

The latest version of nntp-redirect.pl is in the Radiator 3.11 patch set, and 
also will be incldued in the next release.

Cheers.
