1. INTRODUCTION
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.
+configurable GPL'd free RADIUS server. It is stable, and is currently
+being used in many deployments with millions of users.
Please see the main web page (http://www.freeradius.org) for more
information.
See 'doc/README' for more information about FreeRADIUS.
