Hi,
It's not a good sign that we bicker about terminology. Suffice it to say
whilst it was interesting that FreeRADIUS got DHCP support - certainly for those that want to ensure policy actually works - I never thought we'd get to have such fervent discussion about it :-)
now, historical context - a lot of questions have been asked about eg freeRADIUS in 802.1X along the lines of 'authentication worked but client didnt get an address' - of course, FR never handed out addresses back then - it can now.
however, the main question is when will FreeRADIUS have to have a new name? 8-)
FRANAS ? (free radius, authentication and network access server) 8-)
You know I was thinking about this as well, it's not really a Network Access Server though (EAP terminology). It's hard... How many protocols does FR support now, VMPS, RADIUS (With WiMAX), EAP, DHCP. I'd suggest FreeNAC but I believe someone has already :P. FreeRNC - Free RADIUS and Network Control or FreeRaNCS (FRANCS) Arran
