I will put your libradius changes into -current, and then into 3.x-stable a week or two later. I'm not so sure about 2.2-stable. It's really considered to be a dead branch at this point. Nothing is being committed there any more, except (rarely) serious security fixes. > 6.

Hmm, I suppose we could extend the syntax somehow in a compatible way. *auth #the initial default for backward compatibility <auth lines> *acct <acct lines> But I don't think it's worth it. Your solution is fine. Would you mind sending your patches again using send-pr, and then telling me the PR number? Then your patches will be in the GNATS database where they won't be lost. And I'll receive weekly reminders from a cron job somewhere nagging me to commit the stuff. If that's too much trouble, then don't worry. You can nag me yourself instead. :-) There's a possiblity I won't get it done before I have to leave for FreeBSDCon next week, and I don't want to forget it after that.
