[listserv at kalamazoolinux.org]

EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is a standard for
authenticating network clients, most commonly used for wireless devices
("Supplicants"). RADIUS is the protocol used by EAP servers to
authenticate EAP users; and OpenRADIUS is an Open Source service that
provide RADIUS service from any UNIX like platform (LINUX, BSD, etc...).
This presentation will cover setting up a RADIUS service to provide
support for EAP authentication via your wireless network. OpenRADIUS can
authenticate users against your LDAP DSA, CIFS Domain Controller, or a
multitude of other sources (including flat files).
