Questions about upgrading Freeradius

[Linda Pagillo]

Thanks Dusty, i know you were just kidding with me and that's cool :) I'm
just having a bad day hehe. So what i would have to do is set up freeradius
0.9.3 on a different system and then upgrade it as a test and if everything
goes well i should do it on my production system?
