Hi All, The freeradius version in CentOS 5 is ancient, so I've been considering rebuilding the Fedora 10 rpm for freeradius-2.1.3 on CentOS. That means I'll have to maintain the package, and I'm not an uber packager. Normally I wouldn't care, but in this case I do because the freeradius server is going to be critical. So, should I rebuild the F10 rpm, or should I just stick with the version in CentOS 5? Based on what I'm reading, moving to a newer release would be wise.
