Where to begin. This was the first thing I tried when my radius server
died and I couldn't get a new license key from Lucent for the existing
ascend radius daemon I had here. So I went to ftp.ascend.com and grabbed
the file referenced below. Now you would think an ascend radius daemon
would pretty much work with a user and dictionary file brought over from
another ascend radius daemon, right? Well, no. Cistron ended up being a
good fit and it literally worked 'out-of-the-box' with all my existing
data.
