[Dovecot] Direct RADIUS support, not via PAM
Hi,
I'm currently testing dovecot to authenticate user passwords against a radius server, via pam_radius_auth, and that seems to work fine. However, I am running other software (Exim MTA) that also authenticates via radius, using the radiusclient library from:
Is there any chance that this library could be used by Dovecot as a further authentication option, and save me having two separate radius configurations for two different (but related) pieces of software, and the need to install pam_radius_auth, which I don't otherwise use?
Jethro.

That doesn't look very secure. It's coders didn't seem to understand how strncpy() and strncat() works. I wouldn't use it or consider including support for it in Dovecot before auditing the whole thing.
