Hi Alan,

Thanks for the quick answer.

The 'stable' FR release is still 1.1.3 (too old). The 'testing' release is 2.0.4.
I downloaded the 2.1 tarball from the FR site and saw it had a 'debian' directory in there and so did not try to backport the
2.0.4 release from lenny/testing. If there are other patches in this that fix these issues, sorry I missed them.

OK sounds great! I need this for an upcoming project so it is not really pressing. This will be our first play with a FreeRADIUS
2.x branch on a live system (Luxembourgish Telco). The last time I looked at FR2 was just around the release time. With the
similar 'issues' that I was having then I just went back to FR1.1.7 to get things working.

Thanks again, too all you FR Devs!
