  That's good.

If one needs 100% precice information about what's going on, the source code will show you. It even has functionality that I did not expect. For example beeing a DHCP-server that reads its configuration data dynamically from an SQL database. Or OTP-support via a an easy to use interface. With all that functionality I would not wonder if FreeRadius-configuration was very time-consuming. But it isn't and the default configration supports most use cases out of the box. Very impressive!

  Thanks.

Be assured that I have read all the informationen you mentioned (including compatibility.html and every single line of dozens of radiusd -X outputs) and they were very helpful.

  We try to be polite, but straightforward.

If you or anybody else is interested to know why I believe that this nevertheless improves our situation - just let me know. That might give an interesting discussion. I'm just not sure wether you like to have such discussions on the FreeRadius mailing list.

  Sure.  I'd be interested in knowing what the user experience is like.

  Thanks.
