adrianp 6736b99cac Freeradius version 2.0 of the server is intended to be backwards compatible
with previous versions, but also to have many new features, such as:

* simple policy language (see "man unlang")
* virtual servers (raddb/sites-available/README)
* IPv6 support
* better proxy support (raddb/proxy.conf)
* More EAP types
* Debugging output should be MUCH easier to understand
* VMPS support
* More modules are marked "stable" (python, etc.)
* SQL configuration has been cleaned up (see raddb/sql/*)
* limited support for HUP
* check configuration and exit (radiusd -C)
* Server core is now event based (simpler, more powerful)

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!

Livingston / Lucent RABU equipment, there is the portmaster-radius mailing
list. Send mail to portmaster-radius-request@livingston.com to find
