RuggedRouter  User Guide
Some users set the rrsetup and root account passwords to difficult to guess strings that are unique to
each router, then employ a common password for all routers in radius. The router specific strings
are restricted to a very few personnel. A larger set of expert users are granted the rights to SSH
login using the radius root account passwords. Yet another set of users are granted access via
Webmin user accounts.
Radius authentication is logged to the authorization log (file auth.log). Details of
each authentication including time of occurrence, source and result are included.
