Acend was purchased by Lucent Technology. Referencing ftp://ftp.ascend.com/pub/Software-Releases/Radius/Free-RADIUS_EOL.txt shows that the software has reached 'End of Life, End of Availability' as of February 14, 2002. Later in that document, they reccomend switching to NavisRadius, which is a pay product. The ports/ascend-radius port is marked forbidden, due to a exploitable buffer overflow. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Remove this port. the software developers will not be updating or correcting this problem. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
