Simple binary dist from livingston's ftp server. Although I did try the
source dist, I walked away from it after a few half-hearted attempts at
getting it to compile on FreeBSD-2.2.1. When things quite down a little,
maybe I'll see about porting some of my favorite linux/rad-1.16 hacks back
in. The main thing I needed was SCP username prefix, but it's built into
livingston rad-2.0. They also support suffixes. This radiusd has been
rock solid for us.

I would at least check that Ascend support in the merit daemon you're
using. I seem to remember some trouble with Ascend and Livingston
being able to use the same radius server although we've never had Ascends
in our network. My $0.02
