So say we did find it was a defect in 3.0.4. How would you address that if you could only run the RHEL bundled version of FreeRADIUS?
I guess we'd either have to postpone the server migration, which probably won't go down very well, or they'd have to let me install from source...
:) There is a .spec file shipped with FreeRADIUS, so you should be able to easily build RPM packages if that's what is required. But to test things, building and installing in, say, /opt/freeradius is clean - it won't put anything messy anywhere else on the system, so to get rid of it at the end you can just remove the directory you installed in to. I do this fairly often - install test copy in alternative location, stop live running packaged version, start test version. Watch to see if it works or not, then kill test version and start packaged version up again. Can easily test for a few seconds on a system without really disrupting anything or messing up any installed config.
