Questions about upgrading Freeradius

[Dusty Doris]

I was just giving you a hard time.  Its a little longer of a process, but 
it will definately save you a lot of time and more importantly a lot of 
stress if you do run into issues.

BTW - I am in the process of replacing all our radius servers here too. 
So far, I've had no issues with configurations moving between .9 or .93 
and 1.0.5.  My setup is pretty simple here though.

Good Luck with the upgrade.
