Name : freeradius
Product : Fedora 15
Version : 2.1.11
Release : 2.fc15

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.

- Remove the following two patches as upstream has incorporated them:
freeradius-radtest-ipv6.patch
freeradius-lt-dladvise.patch
- Upstream changelog for 2.1.11:
Feature improvements
* Added doc/rfc/rfc6158.txt: RADIUS Design Guidelines.
All vendors need to read it and follow its directions.
* Microsoft SoH support for PEAP from Phil Mayers.
See doc/SoH.txt
* Certificate "bootstrap" script now checks for certificate expiry.
See comments in raddb/eap.conf, and then "make_cert_command".
* Support for dynamic expansion of EAP-GTC challenges.
Patch from Alexander Clouter.
* OCSP support from Alex Bergmann. See raddb/eap.conf, "ocsp"
section.
* Updated dictionary.huawei, dictionary.3gpp, dictionary.3gpp3.
* Added dictionary.eltex, dictionary.motorola, and dictionary.ukerna.
* Experimental redis support from Gabriel Blanchard.
See raddb/modules/redis and raddb/modules/rediswho
* Add "key" to rlm_fastusers. Closes bug #126.
* Added scripts/radtee from original software at
http://horde.net/~jwm/software/misc/comparison-tee
* Updated radmin "man" page for new commands.
* radsniff now prints the hex decoding of the packet (-x -x -x)
* mschap module now reloads its configuration on HUP
* Added experimental "replicate" module. See raddb/modules/replicate
* Policy "foo" can now refer to module "foo". This lets you
over-ride the behavior of a module.
* Policy "foo.authorize" can now over-ride the behavior of module
"foo", "authorize" method.
* Produce errors in more situations when the configuration files
have invalid syntax.
Bug fixes
* Ignore pre/post-proxy sections if proxying is disabled
* Add configure checks for pcap_fopen*.
* Fix call to otp_write in rlm_otp
* Fix issue with Access-Challenge checking from 2.1.10, when the
debug flag was set after server startup. Closes #116 and #117.
* Fix typo in zombie period start time.
* Fix leak in src/main/valuepair.c. Patch from James Ballantine.
* Allow radtest to use spaces in shared secret.
Patch from Cedric Carree.
* Remove extra calls to HMAC_CTX_init() in rlm_wimax, fixing leak.
Patch from James Ballantine.
* Remove MN-FA key generation. The NAS does this, not AAA.
Patch from Ben Weichman.
* Include dictionary.mikrotik by default. Closes bug #121.
* Add group membership query to MS-SQL examples. Closes bug #120.
* Don't cast NAS-Port to integer in Postgresql queries.
Closes bug #112.
* Fixes for libtool and autoconf from Sam Hartman.
* radsniff should read the dictionaries in more situations.
* Use fnmatch to check for detail file reader==writer.
Closes bug #128.
* Check for short writes (i.e. disk full) in rlm_detail.
Closes bug #130. Patches and testing from John Morrissey.
* Fix typo in src/lib/token.c. Closes bug #124

if it is done outside of an "update" section.
* Fix "too many open file descriptors" problem when using
"verify client" in eap.conf.
* Many fixes to dialup_admin for PHP5, by Stefan Winter.
* Allow preprocess module to have "hints = " and "huntgroups =",
which allows them to be empty or non-existent.
* Renamed "php3" files to "php" in dialup_admin/
* Produce error when sub-TLVs are used in a dictionary. They are
supported only in the "master" branch, and not in 2.1.x.
* Minor fix in dictionary.redback. Closes bug #138.
* Fixed MySQL "NULL" issues in ippool.conf. Closes bug #129.
* Fix to Access-Challenge warning from Ken-ichirou Matsuzawa.
Closes bug #118.
* DHCP fixes to send unicast packets in more situations.
* Fix to udpfromto, to enable it to work on IPv6 networks.
* Fixes to the Oracle accounting_onoff_query.

correct local socket for proxying. Closes bug #143.
* Suppress messages when thread pool is nearly full, all threads
are busy, and we can't create new threads.
* IPv6 is now enabled for udpfromto. Closes bug #141
* Make sqlippool query buffer the same size as sql module.

* Configure scripts for rlm_caching from Nathaniel McCallum
* src/lib/dhcp.c and src/include/libradius.h are LGPL, not GPL.
* Updated password routines to use time-insensitive comparisons.
This prevents timing attacks (though none are known).
* Allow sqlite module to do normal SELECT queries.
* rlm_wimax now has a configure script
* Moved Ascend, USR, and Motorola "illegal" dictionaries to separate
files. See share/dictionary for explanations.
* Check for duplicate module definitions in the modules{} section,
and refuse to start if duplicates are found.
* Check for duplicate virtual servers, and refuse to start if
duplicates are found.
* Don't use udpfromto if source is INADDR_ANY. Closes bug #148.
* Check pre-conditions before running radmin "inject file".
* Don't over-ride "no match" with "match" for regexes.
Closes bug #152.
* Make retry and error message configurable in mschap.
See raddb/modules/mschap
* Allow EAP-MSCHAPv2 to send error message to client. This change
allows some clients to prompt the user for a new password.
See raddb/eap.conf, mschapv2 section, "send_error".
* Load the default virtual server before any others.
This matches what users expect, and reduces confusion.
* Fix configure checks for udpfromto. Fixes Debian bug #606866
* Definitive fix for bug #35, where the server could crash under
certain loads. Changes src/lib/packet.c to use RB trees.
* Updated "configure" checks to allow IPv6 udpfromto on Linux.
* SQL module now returns NOOP if the accounting start/interim/stop
queries don't do anything.
