All + FreeRADIUS users are advised to consider upgrading to 2.0. It is the + FreeRADIUS team's intention to put the 1.x server into 'maintenance' mode with + just critical bug fixes.[1] 2.0 has many improvements including numerous bug + fixesthat were too difficult for the 1.x server, as well as many new features. + + Before uninstalling 1.x, it is recommended that you backup your + configuration, which is typically in /usr/local/etc/raddb, then move + it out of the way. It is also worth backing up the default configuration, + which is typically in /usr/local/share/examples/freeradius/raddb. + + 1.x configurations should work with the 2.0 server [2]. However the + port automatically upgrades any unedited files in the configuration when + you install a new version of FreeRADIUS. Installing 2.0 with the residue + of a 1.x configuration in the default location will result in a mixed 1.x and + 2.0 configuration that may not work. + + The recommended approach is to diff your 1.x configuration against the + default 1.x configuration, then make corresponding changes to a copy + of the default 2.0 configuration. If you moved your 1.x configuration out of + the way before upgrading, you will have a 2.0 configuration ready to edit in + the default location. It is worth reading man 5 unlang for details of + the new FreeRADIUS 'un-language' before starting. + + Alternatively, you can move your 1.x configuration to another + location, such as /usr/local/etc/raddb_v1, then edit /etc/rc.conf to point the + rc.d script to that location. For example: + + radiusd_flags="-d /usr/local/etc/raddb_v1" + + I cannot guarantee that all 1.x configurations will work with the 2.0 + server,and I only recommend using a 1.x configuration as an interim measure. + + [1] - http://www.freeradius.org/business/roadmap.html + [2] - http://preview.tinyurl.com/ysrr6a + 20080114: AFFECTS: users of devel/perforce AUTHOR: lth@FreeBSD.org |
