[AusNOG] Radiator vs FreeRADIUS

[Luke Iggleden]

Hi Peter,

My first line was my disclaimer, the last time we used an open source 
radius was cistron radius, which from the existing website now 
recommends freeRadius. If we were successful with Radiator, why would we 
spend time to go and review another RADIUS?

I know nothing about the current version of FreeRadius and I never 
suggested that I did. I was merely giving a +1 for Open's Radiator as we 
have used it for 8+ years supporting 10's of thousands of users.

In particular we had a requirement to do lots of re-writing of radius 
packets using handlers & hooks which no other product had the ability to 
do those years ago which can easily be done right out of the radiator 
config.
