Just curious if anyone is using their unRAID server to double duty as a RADIUS box as well.  I have a few wireless devices in my house and even though I'm using a heavily encoded WPA-2 passkey, I'd like to move to the next level.  I was looking at FreeRADIUS to start, unless someone here has a better suggestion.

I do not have it set up on my unRAID server but when I worked for The Ohio State University Athletics Department I had set up a couple RADIUS servers and set up the Cisco switches to talk to that.  Once everything was figured out and working it was a very cool feature.  We had Active Directory groups that then controlled what could be done by different people.

I was planning on using it just for wifi, but I guess it could be used for general network security as well?  What kind of setup issues did you run into?  Keep in mind I'm not using AD at home.

The Radius server was not to bad to set up, it was getting the cisco switch to play nice with everything.  We had to have a very current version of the Cisco IOS software, get all the AAA lines input correctly, and get the groups set up correctly.  The hardest part was getting the groups (one admin, one "general purpose") set up so that the general purpose could only do a certain set of things to the switch.
