Product : Fedora 12
Version : 2.1.9
Release : 1.fc12

Summary : High-performance and highly configurable free RADIUS server
Description :
The FreeRADIUS Server Project is a high performance and highly configurable
GPL'd free RADIUS server. The server is similar in some respects to
Livingston's 2.0 server. While FreeRADIUS started as a variant of the
Cistron RADIUS server, they don't share a lot in common any more. It now has
many more features than Cistron or Livingston, and is much more configurable.
FreeRADIUS is an Internet authentication daemon, which implements the RADIUS
protocol, as defined in RFC 2865 (and others). It allows Network Access
Servers (NAS boxes) to perform authentication for dial-up users. There are
also RADIUS clients available for Web servers, firewalls, Unix logins, and
more. Using RADIUS allows authentication and authorization for a network to
be centralized, and minimizes the amount of re-configuration which has to be
done when adding or deleting new users.

Update Information:
- update to latest upstream, mainly bug fix release Feature improvements *
Add radmin command "stats detail <file>" to see what is going on inside of
a detail file reader. * Added documentation for CoA. See raddb/sites-
available/coa * Add sub-option support for Option 82. See dictionary.dhcp
* Add "server" field to default SQL NAS table, and documented it. Bug fixes
* Reset "received ping" counter for Status-Server checks. In some corner
cases it was not getting reset. * Handle large VMPS attributes. * Count
accounting responses from a home server in SNMP / statistics code. * Set
EAP-Session-Resumed = Yes, not "No" when session is resumed. * radmin packet
counter statistics are now unsigned, for numbers 2^31..2^32. After that
they roll over to zero. * Be more careful about expanding data in PAP and MS-
CHAP modules. This prevents login failures when passwords contain '{'. *
Clean up zombie children if there were many "exec" modules being run for
one packet, all with "wait = no". * re-open log file after HUP. Closes bug
#63. * Fix "no response to proxied packet" complaint for Coa / Disconnect
packets. It shouldn't ignore replies to packets it sent. * Calculate IPv6
netmasks correctly. Closes bug #69. * Fix SQL module to re-open sockets if
they unexpectedly close. * Track scope for IPv6 addresses. This lets us use
link-local addresses properly. Closes bug #70. * Updated Makefiles to
no longer use the shell for recursing into subdirs. "make -j 2" should now
work. * Updated raddb/sql/mysql/ippool.conf to use "= NULL". Closes bug
#75. * Updated Makefiles so that "make reconfig" no longer uses the shell
for recursing into subdirs, and re-builds all "configure" files. * Used above
method to regenerate all configure scripts. Closes bug #34. * Updated
SQL module to allow "server" field of "nas" table to be blank: "". This
means the same as it being NULL. * Fixed regex realm example. Create Realm
attribute with value of realm from User-Name, not from regex. Closes bug
#40. * If processing a DHCP Discover returns "fail / reject", ignore the
packet rather than sending a NAK. * Allow '%' to be escaped in sqlcounter
module. * Fix typo internal hash table. * For PEAP and TTLS, the tunneled
reply is added to the reply, rather than integrated via the operators.
This allows multiple VSAs to be added, where they would previously be
discarded. * Make request number unsigned. This changes nothing other than
the debug output when the server receives more than 2^31 packets. * Don't
block when reading child output in 'exec wait'. This means that blocked
children get killed, instead of blocking the server. * Enabled building
without any proxy functionality * radclient now prefers IPv4, to match the
default server config. * Print useful error when a realm regex is invalid
* relaxed rules for preprocess module "with_cisco_vsa_hack". The
attributes can now be integer, ipaddr, etc. (i.e. non-string) * Allow
rlm_ldap to build if ldap_set_rebind_proc() has only 2 arguments. *
Update configure script for rlm_python to avoid dynamic linking problems on
some platforms. * Work-around for bug #35 * Do suid to "user" when running
in debug mode as root * Make "allow_core_dumps" work in more situations. *
In detail file reader, treat bad records as EOF. This allows it to continue
working when the disk is full. * Fix Oracle default accounting queries to
work when there are no gigawords attributes. Other databases already had
the fix. * Fix rlm_sql to show when it opens and closes sockets. It already
says when it cannot connect, so it should say when it can connect. * "chmod
-x" for a few C source files. * Pull update spec files, etc. from RedHat into
the redhat/ directory. * Allow spaces when parsing integer values. This
helps people who put "too much" into an SQL value field.

* Thu Jan 7 2010 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com> - 2.1.8-2
- resolves: bug #526559 initial install should run bootstrap to create certificates
running radiusd in debug mode to generate inital temporary certificates
is no longer necessary, the /etc/raddb/certs/bootstrap is invoked on initial
rpm install (not upgrade) if there is no existing /etc/raddb/certs/server.pem file
- resolves: bug #528493 use sha1 algorithm instead of md5 during cert generation
the certificate configuration (/etc/raddb/certs/{ca,server,client}.cnf) files
were modifed to use sha1 instead of md5 and the validity reduced from 1 year to 2 months
* Wed Dec 30 2009 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com> - 2.1.8-1
- update to latest upstream
Feature improvements
* Print more descriptive error message for too many EAP sessions.
This gives hints on what to do when "failed to store handler"
* Commands received from radmin are now printed on stdout when
in debugging mode.
* Allow accounting packets to be written to a detail file, even
if they were read from a different detail file.
* Added OpenSSL license exception (src/LICENSE.openssl)
Bug fixes
* DHCP sockets can now set the broadcast flag before binding to a
socket. You need to set "broadcast = yes" in the DHCP listener.
* Be more restrictive on string parsing in the config files
* Fix password length in scripts/create-users.pl
* Be more flexible about parsing the detail file. This allows
it to read files where the attributes have been edited.
* Ensure that requests read from the detail file are cleaned up
(i.e. don't leak) if they are proxied without a response.
* Write the PID file after opening sockets, not before
(closes bug #29)
* Proxying large numbers of packets no longer gives error
"unable to open proxy socket".
* Avoid mutex locks in libc after fork
* Retry packet from detail file if there was no response.
* Allow old-style dictionary formats, where the vendor name is the
last field in an ATTRIBUTE definition.
* Removed all recursive use of mutexes. Some systems just don't
support this.
* Allow !* to work as documented.
* make templates work (see templates.conf)
* Enabled "allow_core_dumps" to work again
* Print better errors when reading invalid dictionaries
* Sign client certificates with CA, rather than server certs.
* Fix potential crash in rlm_passwd when file was closed
* Fixed corner cases in conditional dynamic expansion.
* Use InnoDB for MySQL IP Pools, to gain transactional support
* Apply patch to libltdl for CVE-2009-3736.
* Fixed a few issues found by LLVM's static checker
* Keep track of "bad authenticators" for accounting packets
* Keep track of "dropped packets" for auth/acct packets
* Synced the "debian" directory with upstream
* Made "unlang" use unsigned 32-bit integers, to match the
dictionaries.
* Wed Dec 30 2009 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com> - 2.1.7-7
- Remove devel subpackage. It doesn't make much sense to have a devel package since
we don't ship libraries and it produces multilib conflicts.
* Mon Dec 21 2009 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com> - 2.1.7-6
- more spec file clean up from review comments
- remove freeradius-libs subpackage, move libfreeradius-eap and
libfreeradius-radius into the main package
- fix subpackage requires, change from freeradius-libs to main package
- fix description of the devel subpackage, remove referene to non-shipped libs
- remove execute permissions on src files included in debuginfo
- remove unnecessary use of ldconfig
- since all sub-packages now require main package remove user creation for sub-packages
- also include the LGPL library license file in addition to the GPL license file
- fix BuildRequires for perl so it's compatible with both Fedora, RHEL5 and RHEL6
* Mon Dec 21 2009 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com> - 2.1.7-5
- fix various rpmlint issues.
* Fri Dec 4 2009 Stepan Kasal <skasal at redhat.com> - 2.1.7-4
- rebuild against perl 5.10.1
* Thu Dec 3 2009 John Dennis <jdennis at redhat.com> - 2.1.7-3
- resolves: bug #522111 non-conformant initscript
also change permission of /var/run/radiusd from 0700 to 0755
so that "service radiusd status" can be run as non-root
