If one is considering a FreeRADIUS tattoo, can your team share the concept behind the octopus(?) logo? Sassy replies welcome and expected.
The concept is something cute, plus an acknowledgement that v4 is becoming a multi-armed "octopus". It does RADIUS, TACACS+, DNS, DHCPv4, DHCPv6, VMPS, LDAP sync, and many more. All in the same process, all at the same time. There is a bit of a "do everything" attitude. The DHCPv4 work got added to v2 because I was tired of running a DHCP server which had no support for policies. It was easier to add DHCPv4 to FreeRADIUS than to try to "fix" a DHCP server.
