URL : http://www.freeradius.org/
License : GPLv2+ and LGPLv2+
Description : The FreeRADIUS Server Project is a high performance and highly configurable
: GPL'd free RADIUS server. The server is similar in some respects to
: Livingston's 2.0 server. While FreeRADIUS started as a variant of the
: Cistron RADIUS server, they don't share a lot in common any more. It now has
: many more features than Cistron or Livingston, and is much more configurable.
:
: FreeRADIUS is an Internet authentication daemon, which implements the RADIUS
: protocol, as defined in RFC 2865 (and others). It allows Network Access
: Servers (NAS boxes) to perform authentication for dial-up users. There are
: also RADIUS clients available for Web servers, firewalls, Unix logins, and
: more. Using RADIUS allows authentication and authorization for a network to
: be centralized, and minimizes the amount of re-configuration which has to be
: done when adding or deleting new users.
