We are just warming up to radius implementation, I am testing on OpenSuSE13.2 with the following packages:
freeradius-server-3.0.3-3.8.1.x86_64
Use 3.0.9. We're not going to debug issues which were tracked down and fixed 6 months ago.
Seriously. Can someone explain the thinking behind users reporting defects on out of date versions? Do they expect us to go back in time, to before we did that release and fix it, so they don't experience the issue in the present? Do they expect us to release patched versions of the 3.0.3 SuSE packages? What's the deal here? Why do people do this? OP isn't the first... This was even mentioned explicitly in the CONTRIBUTING doc I posted a couple of weeks ago: 2.BEFORE REPORTING A DEFECT Verify it's still present in the Git HEAD. Checkout the appropriate branch for the version of the server you're working with as listed here (http://doc.freeradius.org), build the server, and attempt to reproduce your issue. The ChangeLog (https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius-server/blob/v3.0.x/doc/ChangeLog) for the current stable branch may also be used to determine if your issue has already been addressed. The ChangeLog is updated as fixes are made to the server code, and usually reflects the state of the Git HEAD. Do not report non-security defects for EOL branches (as listed on doc.freeradius.org), they will be closed and locked. -Arran
