I have a server that is running a relatively clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 Server. Due to the known licensing issue restrictions I cannot simply use the debian freeradius package.
This was fixed in 2.1.8.
As of this morning, the latest version of freeradius in the (karmic 9.10) repos is 2.1.0. Although 2.1.8 is availible as a lenny backport for debian, I get the feeling that your suggestion is to stick with distribution packages whenever possible. Supposing I wanted to use the debian package to install 2.1.8 onto my ubuntu system the following (taken from http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.en.html) should do the trick, correct? $dpkg-source -x foo_version-revision.dsc $cd foo-version $dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b $dpkg -i ../foo_version-revision_arch.deb
I would like to know if the following outline would install freeradius with support for SSL on my server. Comments from those who actually run freeradius on Ubuntu 9.10 server would be appreciated.
http://wiki.freeradius.org/Build
Has instructions for building on debian && ubuntu.
I've updated the Wiki to reflect this.
The text currently there says that building packages with dpkg-buildpackage is "best", but it's actually now second best to installing working packages from the official repositories.
Version 2.1.8 is available for the lucid lynx (10.04) which just released (non-beta) this morning. I'm not a firm believer in 'version 1' software and generally avoid getting new distro-upgrades the day they come out. However since 10.04 is a long-term-support I may consider installing it. Do you think that re-installing the OS is worth it in this case, or will I be fine running the above and building it from source?
