The only version in the FreeBSD ports collection that works is the ascend-radius (1.16)which users version 1 syntax in the users file. The 3com examples are version 2 syntax. If you are comfortable compiling then grab a copy of radius.3.5.6 from ftp.merit.edu. Your exising config files will not work. As radius.3.5.6 was not out when I got my Total Control rack I ended up using cistron radius from ftp://enterprise.cistron.nl:/pub/people/miquels/radius It was designed for linux, compiles o.k but has a bug under FreeBSD with a file called /var/log/radutmp that it creats that seems to get an outrageous file length after a few minutes running. I just commented out the code that used it the file in acct.c and it has been running for 6 months. - Ernie.
