Freeradius & Oracle

[Brian Atkins]

Peter & Dennis,

Thanks for the quick responses. I now understand why is wasn't just 
'there' after installing Freeradius. And, judging from the other things 
that I've read, even if I were somehow able to port it over, it would 
likely be too large for OpenWRT.

Thanks for the input. Time to drop back and punt...
