Adding freeradius package. Thanks to David Ferlier <david@netbsd-fr.org> for putting this package together. Closes PR pkg/20013. I had originally requested this package even though we already had the Cistern RADIUS package because some terminal servers won't work with one or the other of these packages. This increases the number of terminal servers that can work with NetBSD. from the DESCR file: All code in this server was written from scratch. The server is mostly compatible with livingston radiusd-2.01 (no menus or s/key support though) but with more feautures, such as: o Can limit max. number of simultaneous logins on a per-user basis! o Multiple DEFAULT entries, that can optionally fall-through. o In fact, every entry can fall-through o Deny/permit access based on huntgroup users dials into o Set certain parameters (such as static IP address) based on huntgroup o Extra "hints" file that can select SLIP/PPP/rlogin based on username pattern (Puser or user.ppp is PPP, plain "user" is rlogin etc). o Can execute an external program when user has authenticated (for example to run a sendmail queue). o Can use `$INCLUDE filename' in radiusd.conf, users, and dictionary files o Can act as a proxy server, relaying requests to a remote server o Supports Vendor-Specific attributes o No good documentation at all, just like the original radiusd 1.16! Then of course for general RADIUS questions, especially if you are using Livingston / Lucent RABU equipment, there is the portmaster-radius mailing list. Send mail to portmaster-radius-request@livingston.com to find out how to subscribe.

All code in this server was written from scratch.
The server is mostly compatible with livingston radiusd-2.01
(no menus or s/key support though) but with more feautures, such as:
o Can limit max. number of simultaneous logins on a per-user basis!
o Multiple DEFAULT entries, that can optionally fall-through.
o In fact, every entry can fall-through
o Deny/permit access based on huntgroup users dials into
o Set certain parameters (such as static IP address) based on huntgroup
o Extra "hints" file that can select SLIP/PPP/rlogin based on
username pattern (Puser or user.ppp is PPP, plain "user" is rlogin etc).
o Can execute an external program when user has authenticated (for example
to run a sendmail queue).
o Can use `$INCLUDE filename' in radiusd.conf, users, and dictionary files
o Can act as a proxy server, relaying requests to a remote server
o Supports Vendor-Specific attributes
o No good documentation at all, just like the original radiusd 1.16!
