For those who are interested in such things.

We now have in place, for our local users, a Web service
running on our HP3000 that uses Radius authentication to a
remote host.

Another way of describing this is:
We have a program running on our HP3000, accessible
through the Web(Apache server) that only allows the user to
'do something' after they have provided a userid and password
for a host other than the HP3000.

This required a partial port of the Radius package to posix.
The HP3000 is not acting as a Radius server, but as a Radius
client.  I snipped enough out of the Radius package to get
the Radius client test program(radpwtst) working and then
incorporated this into our program.   So far we have authenticated to
a Radius server on SCO and Radius NLM on Netware 4.

Thanks to Mark Klein for help in getting gcc up and running.
Thanks to Mark Bixby's porting guide(which I should have consulted
sooner, I didn't think I was doing a port).

Bob.
