The problem is that Ubuntu is using Debian's FreeRADIUS package (unless they decide to ship their own package for 16.04) and that is pretty much stuck at 2.2.x
That's something Debian needs to fix, unfortunately. The previous debian maintainer disappeared, and no one else has stepped up to maintain the package. But Debian has 2-3 *other* RADIUS servers, each of which is 10+ years old... and hasn't been *maintained* for 10+ years. Why? Just... why?
Though there was some activity at Debian, thanks to the people who have worked on improving the debian packaging files inside the Debian source files.
We still need a Debian maintainer for FreeRADIUS. And we need to convince Debian to stop shipping crappy software that is 10+ years old, when better software exists. Alan DeKok.
