[Help-gnu-radius] A Newbie - How do I use Radius to authenticate LAN users

[Fred Kamwaza]

Would you please assist!!

I have been squid to authenticate and log users on my LAN.  Two problems 
with this arrangement:

1. the system is checking authentication at every request - slowing down 
the system considerably. 

2. I am not able to get the length of a session.

I understand that Radius can be used instead.  I have just managed to 
install a radiusd-cistron-1.6.6 on a RedHad 7.1 system.  I had the opinion 
that I will be able to use it to log accounting data and authenticate users 
on my LAN. 

If this is possible, how do I do it?
