Hi, one of the main issues is using a distro version of the code. what they do to the files provided in the TARBALL is up to them. i would advise doing something like locate scripts | grep -i radius ...they might have been dumped into somewhere like /usr/share/doc/radiusd or somesuch. you can get v2.x for CentOS - read the WIKI - theres a repository for it too so it will get updated with new versions. as for 'marking you down as yet another stubborn user' - well I thought by singularly attacking the project leaader/manager you were wanting to be thought of like that ;-) seriously though, most (if not all) support will be for 2.x now - as thats what most of us run - due to wanting the features, stability and speed (yes, lots of speed!) of the new version. we all used to run 1.x and deal with common/similar issues....we now run 2.x and do the same. our issues and fixed in 2.x wont work for 1.x as the whole construct and layout is vastly different in places. with EAP, 2.x is almost a must (unless you want your DB etc hit far too many times). unlang has allowed us to remove dozens of random bits in users/groups/rewrite lines. alan
