Use other. I have used max40XX before and it worked fine but I am now using 
"other".
I have two max6000's that have been running with FR for 3 years using MySql 
backend.

Documentation is pretty clear on how to use the database, if you get stuck 
on something I would be glad to help, but I am not going to build it all for 
you. Dont have the time.

First thing to do is setup your clients file, then goto radius.conf and 
configure it there for using the database for auth. import the database 
tables that you want to use, there are sql files in the distro for it.
If you get in there and get stuck on something email me and I will help you.
