yep. now...although I'm thinking RADSEC could be involved...just
a new port that is properly firewalled would do..... i guess
a 'statistics virtual server' would be the ideal thing.

i noted! grabbed the CVS to just have a look at the dictionary file.
nice. however, it didnt compile... but i see a new change in auth.c
as i write this...nope. still dead

auth.c: In function 'rad_authlog':
auth.c:119: error: expected expression before '<<' token
auth.c:828: error: expected declaration or statement at end of input
