Debian packages seem to have stagnated :(

But it's easy building Debian packages from the source tree. See
http://wiki.freeradius.org/building/Build#building-packages_building-debian-packages

You'll get packages that you can easily install/remove as usual.

All the information is in the output of freeradius -X. What does
it say? It's hard for us to debug anything without seeing it.

Here a mixture of 3.1.x, 3.0.x and
2.2.something-locally-build-with-patches.

But logging on all of them (inc. 2.1.12) is essentially the same,
so won't make any difference.

If you're building a new service I really would build the 3.0.x
packages and start from there, otherwise you are running end of
life software right from the beginning. I can't emphasise enough
not to start running a new service on version 2.
