It addresses the configuration in single-file format rather than the 
distributed file format that the current packaging (for Debian at least) 
uses.

Arg!  Were you able to continue using the same configuration, or did it 
require a full rebuild?

 I moved from a rather ancient Gentoo server that I believe was using an 1.x 
version to Debian Lenny 2.0.4, then upgraded to the 2.1.8 backport, and I 
can't get it to parse DOMAIN//user properly - it ignores the separator and 
comes up with a null "realm".  Curiously, it later displays the username as 
DOMAIN/name.

The current Debian packaging also requres that the mschap module file be 
edited, and that a sites-available file be linked to sites-enabled. 

Thanks for the reply.  I think it's always harder to maintain/upgrade an 
existing configuration moved to a new platform than to build one from 
scratch.
