Using radtest on port 1645

FreeRADIUS 2.x is also ancient and although it works, you will get little support for it. The first problem you come across, the most likely response you'll get will be "upgrade to 3.0.12"!

Thanks Brian

The server is part of a legacy LAMP stack that is running in maintenance mode for another 12 months while a replacement is implemented. This particular radius server is incredibly basic and just provides a single credential for a single upstream host. The rest of the stack is CentOS 6 and the Freeradius version I'm using is the standard CentOS binary. Rather than go and build radiusd from source for a temporary arrangement with such a basic use case I decided to just go with a simple setup. It will all be switched off in 12 months or so anyway. 

Thanks again
