Oh I see. Sorry, I wasn't even aware of that, and I've no idea if it's even supported any more.
I notice that the 'snapshots' link on that page points to an ftp server in Turkey which doesn't have any content: .... All freeradius (server) development has moved to git - it's currently at version 2.1.11.
Sounds like a maintainer is needed under the auspices of the freeradius project: (from http://wiki.freeradius.org/Radiusclient) "Development of the radiusclient-ng and FreeRADIUS client were proceeding in parallel during 2006-2007,... until in early 2008 it has been decided to merge both projects ... and discontinue radiusclient-ng project.... All developers from the radiusclient-ng project joined FreeRADIUS team and few remaining fixes from the radiusclient-ng have been merged into FreeRADIUS client package. Development of the codebase is ongoing." The current latest version is on cvs.freeradius.org according to the page cited above. I was able to download a copy from there that was a tad more recent than the stable 1.1.6 version. Meanwhile, a search of github.com shows one project with "radius" and "client" in the name that is not related to Ruby or perl. It is "elagin / RadiusClient", and has just a few files. Interestingly, it was committed recently (2/18/2011). The size is 250K but most of the files are private and cannot be downloaded. The main.cpp file refers to radiusclient library functions but itself is not radiusclient. So, I'm not sure what this is but it does not appear to be the main site for radiusclient. So, it looks like radiusclient is currently not well supported within the freeradius project, and the name "radiusclient" is taken on github.com. If a maintainer is needed, I am willing to volunteer at least for now. Since the name "radiusclient" on github is taken, would it make sense to include radiusclient in the freeradius server source tree? That would be handy for those who want both, and it's not very large so people who don't want it wouldn't be bothered much. It could even be configured not to compile by default. Once the housekeeping (file transfer to github, updating the make files) is done, the first thing I would do is merge the dictionaries with the ones that come with the server! If there is a (dormant) maintainer already, I will be happy to work with him/her to do what is needed. Thanks - Larry Widman

Yes... Please help. :)

It's not.

No name is "taken" on github.

Great. I'll send you a whack of patches.

No. That code is *terrible*.

Sure. I've pushed the code to github see: https://github.com/alandekok/freeradius-client Alan DeKok.
