Thanks a lot for those informations. In fact, I need a stable radiusd BUT I have to extend the authentification to access a private (protocol) database. Then, I need to extend a web proxy/contexte manager to access this radius server so I need to easily developpe a radius client. I seems that OpenRadius is what I !:-) Is there any debian package for OpenRADIUS ? Is the client can make specifics requests : accounting/start/stop ?
