Specification of my Enhancements

RADIUS-Codes

1. The codes < 127 are the requestes from NAS, requests from 128 ... 255 are form proxies.
   In other words, the first bit is the proxy-bit.

   Background: The Combination (NAS,realm,Userservice) have defaults, which should be administed centrally in a main-Server of a realm and distributed once to the proxy-servers. So the proxy want's to know only the user-Attributes.
   So I want a simple and efficient possibility to discriminate the Requests.

2. Database-Requests

   46 : (New-User-Request)

   Request to put a new User in the Database

   47 : (New-User-Accepted)

   positive Answer to the New-User-Request

   48 : (New-User-Reject)

   negative Answer to the New-User-Request
   or, as a request to a Server: Delete the User

   49 : (User-Update-Request)

   Only a few Attributes are changed, the answer will be 47 or 48

   50 : (User-Query-Request)

   The Administator wants to query a user (to get the Password) (very dangerous)

   51 : (User-Query-Accepted)

   The positive answer

   52 : (User-Query-Reject)

   The negative awswer

   53 : (List-Users-Request)

   A TCP-Connection to the Cleint is created and all usernames are listed. The Answer is 51 or 52

   Background: When the Radiusd accts als little Databaseserver, these recodes are usefull. It is generally nonsense tho make the radiusd to acct as a databaseserver, it only was to enable a confortable Management with gdbm as underlying Hash-table (it allows only one writer or many readers but not both, and at a ISP we don't wanted to restart the radiusd any time and don't desturb the administrator any time a now customer comes). With other DB-Routines it is really obsolet, and don't make them standard. Only a silly realm with gdbm may awnswer to this requests. For the Messages see may famous code :-)

Additional Wishes

• I want UUCP as Userservice
• I want to send all Informations, traditionaly in /etc/passwd (Group, Username, Shell) to NAS (Terminals are NAS too)
