FreeRadius 2.1.12: radclient without coa

[Treusch Thorsten]

Hi Alan,
thanks for your reply but as far as i know nobody as edited our version of radclient ?!
It was just a clean install done by one of my colleagues.
And when he installed it the only purpose of freeradius was for authentication.
We didn't even think about using CoA.
When you say "edited", does that mean we might have to modify/add something in the Freeradius
installation and/or config to get coa back to radclient ?

Cheers,
Thorsten

  That works.

  That's wrong.  The version of radclient has listed "coa" there since
May 2006.  The revision control system is quite clear on this.  So...
who edited your version of radclient?

  No.

  The version of radclient shipped with 2.1.12 has full support for CoA.
