FreeRADIUS 2.1.8 Wed 30 Dec 16:44:50 CEST 2009, urgency=medium
Feature improvements

* Allow accounting packets to be written to a detail file, even
if they were read from a different detail file.
* Added OpenSSL license exception (src/LICENSE.openssl)
Bug fixes

socket. You need to set "broadcast = yes" in the DHCP listener.
* Be more restrictive on string parsing in the config files
* Fix password length in scripts/create-users.pl
* Be more flexible about parsing the detail file. This allows
it to read files where the attributes have been edited.

(i.e. don't leak) if they are proxied without a response.

(closes bug #29)

"unable to open proxy socket".
