Hi Guilherme

We are not angry. We are however busy, and have limited time.

Any posts you see about sqlippool prior to August 2006 do not directly relate 
to the sqlippool module that is in FreeRADIUS 1.1.3 (Although it may share 
some code.. There have been several different modules available on the net 
called sqlippool prior to the one that is now available as part of 
FreeRADIUS)

The code in CVS head has been modified even futher (as you know). sqlippool is 
an EXPERIMENTAL module which is why it is not enabled by default. It is 
currently tested ONLY on Postgresql. There are currently no _known_ 
production deployments of (our) sqlippool on Oracle although we are happy 
that you are testing it and appreciate your feedback.

Currently you are writing many emails to the list with "CRITICAL/URGENT etc" 
in the subject in relation to sqlippool and you are clearly trying to deploy 
it for production use. I have very clearly told you previously these issues 
and you KNOW that it is an experimental module!!

We are trying to help you as much as we can, but we expect you to also be 
prepared to do testing and possibly some development yourself, otherwise 
please dont use EXPERIMENTAL modules, especially not in production!

If you wish to have my company (Suntel Communications) develop, test and 
support this module for/on an Oracle version of your choice then we would be 
happy to do so for a fee (which we can discuss offlist without bothering 
everyone else) otherwise you will have to make do with the (free) support we 
are providing to you and everyone else via this mailing list in our spare 
time.

Alternatively there is a list of other companies/people who would also be 
happy to provide you support at http://www.freeradius.org/business/

Regards
