A free RADIUS server implementation (development version) Was Maintained by:david@wood2.org.uk Port Added: 14 Mar 2001 16:10:51 License: not specified in port
This is the development version of FreeRADIUS.
IMPORTANT: Configuration files CANNOT be copied directly from 1.x. Some
may work, most will require careful porting. See the FreeRADIUS web site for
more information on the status of this version.
FreeRADIUS is the premiere open source RADIUS server. Based on current
statistics, there are over 50,000 deployments of the software. These
deployments include small sites with 10 users, large-scale enterprises with
tens of thousands of users, and carrier-class deployments with over 10 million
users. In total, the sites that we know are using FreeRADIUS support nearly
100 million users. The only other servers that come close in terms of market
share and/or number of sites are ACS and IAS.
The server scales easily from embedded systems with small amounts of memory to
systems with millions of users. It is fast, flexible, configurable, and
supports more authentication protocols than most commercial servers. It
includes support for SQL, LDAP, RADIUS Proxying, failover, load balancing, and
nearly 100 vendor dictionary files. It can perform authentications via the
PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP, EAP-MD5, EAP-GTC, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, PEAPv0, LEAP,
EAP-SIM, and Digest authentication protocols. It has reached a stable 1.1
version, with incremental improvements added in each release.
The server is released under the GNU General Public License (GPL), which means
that it is free to download and install.

Delete freeradius-devel -- it's based on a long-obsolete, exploitable
snapshot of the FreeRADIUS code. Anyone who wants to take over maintenance
is welcome to revive it.
Use ${ECHO_CMD} instead of ${ECHO} where you mean the echo command; the ECHO
macro is set to "echo" by default, but it is set to "true" if make(1) is
invoked with the -s option while ECHO_CMD is always set to the echo command.
First round of auto* cleanups: - USE_AUTO* -> USE_AUTO*_VER=* where required
- USE_AUTO* / *_DEPENDS=.*auto*:*/devel/auto* -> GNU_CONFIGURE where OK -
Other minor changes to fix things
With great trepidation, stick my neck into the MAINTAINERship noose by
introducing a port of the FreeRADIUS project's RADIUS server, currently
labeled ``alpha''. The distfile is locally hosted so I don't have to go
chasing snapshots. (N.B.: I don't know whether this actually works yet -- but
it does compile and package!)
