My issue...CentOS, which is our "approved platform" (I'm rolling my eyes

I'm pretty sure rlm_cache is enabled on 2.x.x bundled rpm spec. Not sure
since what version though.

2.2.5's spec builds rlm_cache. If you can build your own packages, you can
use the bundled spec file.

If you want to use prebuilt packages, try

http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Afreeradius%3A2.x.x%3Acentos&package=freeradius

unofficial, but should work for centos. Upgrading from 2.1.12 to 2.5.5
should be easy enough.

Or, use 3.0.x:
http://software.opensuse.org/download.html?project=home%3Afreeradius%3A3.0.x%3Acentos&package=freeradius

Like Arran side, nicer and easier.
