Radius 0.96 released

[Sergey Poznyakoff]

GNU Radius 0.96 has been released.  It is available from
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/radius/ and mirrors of that site (see list of
mirror sites at http://www.gnu.org/order/ftp.html).

GNU Radius is a collection of utilities to perform remote user
authentication and accounting using RADIUS protocol. It includes
SQL support, which allows to use SQL databases for authentication
and accounting. 

The package was tested on several platforms (see doc/MACHINES for
the list).

Major changes in this version:

     - The server can be configured to listen on multiple interfaces/ports.
     - User passwords and shared keys of arbitrary length are allowed.
     - raddb/naslist can contain default entry. This is useful for sites
       serving a big number of terminal servers.
     - Empty realms are supported.
     - The value of a reply attribute-value pair can be computed at
       authentication time.
     - Guile support allows to extend the functionality of the server.
       User-supplied Scheme procedures can be called when processing
       requests, thus allowing to create site-specific authentication or
       accounting schemes.
     - Both check and reply attribute-value pairs can be retrieved from
       SQL database.
     - ODBC support is added.
     - Client sub-package contains a PAM module for authentication via
       RADIUS.
     - A template for creating authentication and accounting database
       is supplied in the distribution.
     - Test suite is available.
