I don't like the idea of doing that on production boxes running multiple
services becuase it seems likely that some security update will cause a
cascade of upgrades or break something.  Most of the time unstable stuff
works fine, but sometimes it bites you in the ass.  Maybe if we setup a
seperate box running not much other than the freeraduis it could be ok.

At
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=142217&repeatmerged=yes
it says "radiusd-freeradius is too buggy.  This is a grave bug, by Policy
s2.1.2. Maybe it will be ready for Woody+1."

What does the Woody+1 mean, a minor release/update to woody or does it
mean sid?

Thanks,
Chuck
