Description of problem: Got the following information from http://wiki.freeradius.org/index.php/FreeRADIUS_Wiki:FAQ#Does_FreeRADIUS_Support_IPv6.3F ----------- FreeRADIUS 1.1.x does not particularly care if the host it runs on is dual-stack. It will work just fine, but only use the IPv4 stack of the machine. It will also transport IPv6 RADIUS attributes just fine but will NOT send packets over IPv6. FreeRADIUS Server 2.0.0 and greater has full support for both IPv6 attributes and IPv6 network packets. ----------- The current version of FreeRADIUS in RHEL5.2 RC is 1.1.3-1.2.el5. So need at least 2.0.0 to RHEL5.2 for DoD RFC 3162 compliance. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): freeradius-1.1.3-1.2.el5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Nicole as you are aware we do not do major version upgrades in RHEL which this constitutes. I very much doubt we would allow the 1.x version to be superseded by a 2.x version, the two versions do not even share the same configuration, upgrading from 1.x to 2.x requires manual intervention by the sys admin and thus is clearly outside the parameters for a RHEL upgrade. However, I could imagine a scenario where we offer both a 1.x and a 2.x package in RHEL and if a site needs the 2.x version it can proactively install it as special case. The 2.x version of FreeRADIUS is just making an initial appearance in Fedora this week with the release of F-9. We have almost no field experience with the 2.x version, although the package is ready as a consequence of being released for F-9 so it in theory could be built for RHEL without too much difficulty. This request is going to need special consideration by RHEL product management because it violates our RHEL policy. However, if there is a strong business need for this I will support you by preparing the package for RHEL if you are willing to do the leg work to petition product management and shepherd this request through the various approval gates, So the ball is in your court, if you want this you must first get it approved, and once it's approved I'll step in and do the package work. Sound fair?
