<br>FreeRADIUS, but also for the protocol, and common use cases. Where<br>other books say things like "Access-Request packets contain requests for<br>access", this one says that, and more. Like common problems people see,
<br>common mistakes vendors make, common misunderstandings and how to<br>correct them, and how to work around various issues in practice.<br><br> I'm going to try to keep it under 400 pages, but I do think there's
