+radsecproxy is a generic RADIUS proxy that can support various
+RADIUS clients over UDP or TLS (RadSec).
It should build on most Linux and BSD platforms by simply typing
-"make". You may also try to use autoconf if you like.
+"make". You may also try to use autoconf, but this is currently
+unsupported.
-To use it you need to create a config file called
-"radsecproxy.conf" which must be in /etc/radsecproxy (unless
-you alter it in the header file), the current directory, or
-you can specify the location with the "-c" command line
-option (see below). See the enclosed example file for further
-instructions.
+To use it you need to create a config file which normally is
+called "/etc/radsecproxy.conf". You can also specify the location
+with the "-c" command line option (see below). For further
+instructions, please see the enclosed example file and the
+documentation at

-There are three options that may be specified on the command line.
+There are five options that may be specified on the command line.
"-c configfile" to specify a non-default config file path;
"-d loglevel" to set a loglevel of 1, 2, 3 or 4 where 4 is the most
detailed; and "-f" to run the proxy in the foreground with logging
to stderr. Without "-f" the default is to detach as a daemon and
-log to syslog.
+log to syslog. "-v" just prints version information and exits, while
+"-p" (pretend) makes the proxy go through the configuration files as
+normal, but stops before creating any sockets or doing any serious
+work. This is useful for validating config files.

+Thanks to Stefan Winter and Andreas Solberg for talking me into
+doing this, and the funding from GEANT2. Stefan as well as Kolbjørn
+Barmen, Ralf Paffrath and Maja Wolniewicz have helped with early
+testing of the code.

All of the above plus Milan Sova have provided good feedback on
several implementation choices. Finally thanks to Hans Zandbelt
for providing the autoconf stuff. I may have forgotten someone,
let me know if you feel left out.
