I hadn't gotten the new radius port to work properly since it won't run, saying a file is missing (a config file like 'users' and 'dictionary'.) The make install does not copy the default or example file over properly. The problem might be easily fixed but I didn't see how in a little while of banging on it. . The port is a later version of the radius daemon. The source still available from Ascend or Livingston might be the older version, which will still work fine for normal stuff. Verify the port numbers used. The older code will use 1645 and 1646. You can run a livingston and an ascend radiusd in parallel if you carefully edit one of the sources to use different port numbers (and of course the device has to know the alternate ports as well.) You can even merge the dictionaries and use the ascend radiusd to serve both normal and ascend radius requests but that scenario couldn't log accounting for the normal (in our case Portmaster 2eR or 3Com HiPER DSP) server. Livingston = everything but Ascend, so Livingston is the 'standard'. The latest ports don't refer to Livingston by name. You should still be able to get the livingston code from livingston.com (now a part of lucent.) It's also public domain in other places.
