- Anyone know of a local ( free advice ) Portmaster/Raduis expert.

	I might qualify.. I've been running Radius on
Portmaster/Ascend equipement for five or six years now..

- I want to set up a telnet/shell user and can't get it to work. I've got
- jack    Auth-Type = Local, Password = "test"
-         Service-Type = Login-User,
-         Login-IP-Host = localhost,
-         Login-Service = Telnet,
-         Login-TCP-Port = 23
- 
- set up in the /etc/raddb/users file for radius ( I've tried two different
- radius servers and I've changed the userid/password so I know I'm
- chaning the correct config file )

	Did you really list `localhost' as the Login-IP-Host?

- When enver I login with my userid and password, I get a prompt
- on the local RAS server. I don't automatically get the telnet connection
- started to the server I have listed.
- 
- Anyone know how this stuff is supposed to work?

	If you really listed `localhost' for Login-IP-Host, it's
doing exactly as requested.  You told the access server to give
the user a shell on the machine referred to as `localhost'.  You
really want to make Login-IP-Host to be `<shell-server>'.

	Don't forget that using telnet as the Login-Service, the
user is going to get a second set of login/password prompts as
well.
