Subject: RE: CiscoSecure NT vs CS UNIX Also, if you're looking for a Radius solution to interface with a real relational db, NT works out a LOT cheaper than Sybase or Oracle on Unix.
I don't know of anyone building their own Unix based solution who would bother to buy a commercial RDBMS when there are ample and appropriate freeware options. That goes double for anyone using one of the *BSDs, even that commercial one.... (I still don't see how NT could possibly be cheaper than Unix in any case -- the NT server license alone should pay for quite a few consulting hours [you shouldn't need a top level expert -- maybe even just a good co-op student] if you don't already have in-house systems programmer(s)....) -- Greg A.
