Might be possible through the external authentication scheme? Say, you
run your XtRadius on some Linux or *BSD machine and the external
authentication script performs a query to the Windows machine - to the
Access database... (I don't know how to query an Access database over
the network; the stupidest, but easy to do way I can think of is to
make a HTTP request to an IIS on the Windows machine, who will then
exec some ASP to query the database... Or maybe implement ODBC on both
sides?)
Some other option _might_ be to mount the disk drive with the Access
database over the network - via samba, perhaps - and then access it
locally (there was a Perl interface DBIx, which again relied on ODBC
to communicate with the Access database - see
