Re: AW: Radius server sending mail alerts

[Mitch Pope <MPope () gwail com au>]

Hi Juan,

Yes it is very possible, just about every RADIUS server I know of has 
logging and I would expect almost every RADIUS server in existence to be 
capable of logging failed authentication attempts.  On the Linux/Unix side 
failed logon attempts will be written to logfiles on disk, simply write a 
small script to email these to yourself. 

Microsoft IAS (Internet Authentication Service) is a pretty powerful 
RADIUS server and can write failed auth attempts to the security event 
log, which in turn can be saved and rotated at an interval of your 
choosing, which you may find is a far more effective way of monitoring and 
archiving successful / unsuccessful authentications.

Kind Regards,
Mitch Pope
