[kwlug-disc] Radius (was: Re: Introduction - Mark)

[Hubert Chathi]

Since Radius was brought up...  I've been tempted to set up a Radius
server on my home network, just to try it out, but the main issue is
that I'm not sure what benefit Radius brings.  I already have an LDAP
server, and it seems like everything that can use Radius can also use
LDAP.  So is there any advantage that Radius has over just using LDAP
directly?  What is Radius used for?
