Hello,

Anyone who knows if and where the patch mentioned above can be. I found this 
discussion thread, but I do not know where and how to find the the patch, if 
available. This would solve our problem with an unresponsive user resource 
management server accessed through a customised module in FreeRadius.


FreeBSD version 6.3
FreeRADIUS Version 1.1.7
