statistics with radsniff and collectd

I never got it working with UDP, feel free to edit the wiki if you do :)

It's not an huge issue, as you can run collectd locally and use it to proxy the stats.

Yep.

> Has anyone got this working? The question is rhetorical as I assume that the wiki's author (at least) got it to work but I don't seem to have the relevant definitions with my version of collectd (5.4.1).

Added the link to the wiki. Oops.

They're bundled in the scripts/collectd directory.
