This was the first thing I tried when my radius server died and I couldn't get a new license key from Lucent for the existing ascend radius daemon I had here. So I went to ftp.ascend.com and grabbed the file referenced below. Now you would think an ascend radius daemon would pretty much work with a user and dictionary file brought over from another ascend radius daemon, right? Well, no. Cistron ended up being a good fit and it literally worked 'out-of-the-box' with all my existing data. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Eric Stanfield, K2Access Keno Kozie Associates 222 N LaSalle #1500 Chicago, IL 60606 (312) 332-3000 "Chuck Rock" et> cc: Sent by: Subject: RE: RADIUS server on FreeBSD 4.x-RELEASE owner-freebsd-isp@F reeBSD.ORG 07/24/01 05:18 PM What's wrong with ... ascend-radius-980618 ?
