More current versions of FreeRADIUS than 1.1.3. are available for RHEL 5 
and CentOS5, see:

http://wiki.freeradius.org/Red_Hat_FAQ

The latest build for RHEL5 is 2.1.7, I'll be adding 2.1.8 shortly. Note 
these are not official builds.

We anticipate 2.1.7 will show up as an official build in the RHEL 5.5 
update under the package name freeradius2. 2.1.8 was released after the 
cut off date, thus RHEL 5 will only have 2.1.7 and 1.1.3.

As for why 1.1.3 didn't ship with rlm_sqlippo0l (it does ship with 
rlm_ippool) I can't tell you, it was before my time.

If you would like to open a bug against the 1.1.3 RHEL 5.5 version 
please contact your support TAM.
