[Openvpn-users] Simple Accounting with linuxbased passwords

Hi,

I need a very simple VPN-solution and I don't know whether OpenVPN will meet
my requirements. I have a linuxbox with about 1500 users. I don't need any
encryption (also just plain text for the password would be OK). The
important thing is, that I don't want to have any maintenance to setup an
account. I just want to have them login by username and password from
/etc/shadow.

Simple question: Is that possible with OpenVPN? Encryption is also OK, but
not needed.

Further question: Is it possible that every user gets every login the same
IP-address (e.g. based by row in /etc/shadow)? I think I have to use a
tap-Interface for my VPN-solution, but I don't think OpenVPN has an
interface to the DHCP-Dämon?

Thanks,
Jann
