I'm a bit puzzled here. I've had a radius server running on a PC connected to my hotspot('s) running on a routerboard in a box with antenna etc.
Due problems and necessary configuration changes I'm now building a separate machine taking care of the Hotspot.
I only now found MT has this usermanager and the OS itself has its users database. Both (or are we actuall talking the same thing here?) are basically capable of performing the same actions as a Radius.
My Question is now why should you use a (hard to configure for non Linux adepts) Radius server if all administration basically can be performed by the MT software itself?
Everywhere in the doc's and this forum I see reverts to a Radius but actually I do not quit understand why.
Before I start spending loads of my precious time I would like to know what route is best to go. My set up will be for 4 to 6 hundred users in time with a mix off permanent subscribers and holiday (short time) users.
Does anybody have a quick answer to this?
