NAME

6       rlm_unix - FreeRADIUS Module
7

DESCRIPTION

9       The  rlm_unix  module reads crypt(3) passwords from the system password
10       file, and allows the server to use them for authentication.  The module
11       also  provides  FreeRADIUS  an  interface  into a radwtmp file (used by
12       "radlast") when added to the accounting section.
13
14       The rlm_unix module should be listed  in  the  "authenticate"  section.
15       Please  see  the  default  radiusd.conf  shipped with the server for an
16       example of the correct usage of this module.
17
18       As  of  FreeRADIUS  1.1.0,  the  module  no  longer  reads,  or  caches
19       /etc/passwd,  /etc/shadow,  or  /etc/group.  If you wish to cache those
20       files, see rlm_passwd.  Most, if not  all,  configurations  should  not
21       need those files to be cached.
22
23       The main configuration items to be aware of are:
24
25       radwtmp
26              The  path  to  the  system  wtmp file to be used for keeping the
27              database of online users as read by the 'radlast' program.
