Install PAM Radius for use as external authentication

By Malte Sussdorff

OpenACS docs are written by the named authors, and may be edited by OpenACS documentation staff.

This step by step guide is derived from the installation instructions which you can find at yourdomain.com/doc/acs-authentication/ext-auth-pam-install.html. It is build upon PAM 0.77 (tested) and does not work on RedHat Linux Enterprise 3 (using PAM 0.75). It makes use of the ns_pam module written by Mat Kovach. The instructions given in here do work with PAM LDAP accordingly and differences will be shown at the end of the file.

Next you have to add the configuration lines to your Radius configuration file (/etc/rddb/server). For AOLserver to be able to access this information you have to change the access rights to this file as well.
```
[root pam_radius]# echo "radius.yourdomain.com:1645 your_radius_password >>/etc/rddb/server
