Fedora (F-9) is current with the 2.0.5 release (in the testing repo).<br>

When you say Red Hat's repositories only have 1.1.3 I presume you're
referring to RHEL 5. RHEL is an "enterprise" release and in the
interest of stability for enterprises the policy is not to update the
versions of software which originally appeared in the initial
enterprise release. Instead critical bug fixes are backported into the
older version on a case by case basis. Occasionally a component in an
enterprise release will undergo a version upgrade but this is the
exception rather than the rule. With respect to FreeRADIUS 2.x the
configuration is not compatible with the 1.1.x version adding another
reason why enterprise installations cannot be updated because manual
intervention by the administrator would be required, once again
violating the "enterprise contract". That said there has been some
internal discussion about whether to offer the 2.0.5 version in RHEL as
an optional out of band update. Contact your technical account manager
(TAM) to express interest in this.<br>
