I agree that some of RH's decisions are arguable, but, in general, having the policy to release a stable version of a Linux distro every 2 years and maintain that for 7 years *without interface changes* (in principle) is a good thing and really needed in many production environments.
Agreed. But that is *Redhat's* problem, not ours. *Redhat* should provide support for 3-year-old versions of FreeRADIUS.
Just to clarify my situation: In my case, we're talking about an installed base of RHEL4 systems in a mission-critical environment, using non-standard PC-hardware, installed at many remote locations throughout the country, so ideally this should stay working for 5+ years without reinstallation.
And you're *not* willing to purchase support? Wow...
But your message is clear and I'll see if I can generate a more recent version of freeradius on RHEL4.
Or, purchase support from someone for the version that you are willing to run. Alan DeKok.
