FreeRadius should always be called FreeRadius. It's almost a brand name, which is very well known, and has an excellent reputation.
I agree.
How could this be organized, in the source tree or elsewhere? A new server core maybe called Flex-"Something" without any knowledge of RADIUS, DHCP or the like? An "add-on" package called FreeRadius, another called FlexDHCP? Kind of confusing, there must be a better way.
I think the best way is to have a new project that contains additional documentation on the web explaining how to configure the additional protocols. We could also have a git tree based on FreeRADIUS, but with the RADIUS parts stripped out, for example. I've started some of that work in the git "master" branch. The various "listen" handlers are now in plug-in modules. The server core is gradually having all of the RADIUS portions removed. If I can figure out how to move the RADIUS state machine into the modules, then the core would be *completely* protocol agnostic. In the long term, migrating the FreeRADIUS code base into something more flexible is a good idea. Alan DeKok.
