  Tough.  If he's chosen to run software that's no longer supported,
that's his problem.

  If he's buying support for an "enterprise Linux" distribution then
THEY can support the old version of the server.  If he's willing to pay,
he can click on the "support" link on freeradius.org.

  Otherwise... upgrade.

  The official story for not upgrading is usually either "lack of
support", or "consistency of the system".  The responses are:

  a) Great!  Buy support from someone (OS vendor, etc.)
     If not, good luck getting the problem fixed.

  b) Live with a system that's consistent, but doesn't do what you want,
and isn't supported.
