This might be a dumb question, but... I'd like to buy the book and have my company pay for it. (Read: fill out a PO, go through the whole purchasing thing, blah blah blah...) Any way for FR to get the kickback then? (I'd imagine not, but figured I'd ask anyway.)

I haven't had time to contribute much during the past few months, though. At any rate, please feel free to ask any questions about the book to me personally, or call me stupid, and I'll do my best to respond appropriately. (No, I won't hold it against you for calling me stupid.) If you do decide to purchase the book, please do so through the FreeRADIUS site. There is a real potential for a decent chunk of change to become available to support the development of this project. Thanks for your support! Jonathan Hassell [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- From: Alan DeKok [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 2:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RADIUS book from O'Reilly A RADIUS book from O'Reilly has been announced, and it's on Amazon. See: http://www.freeradius.org/related/ I've taken the liberty of signing up for an 'Amazon associates' program, so if you're thinking about buying the book, please us the link, and some $$ will be contributed to FreeRADIUS. Since there is currently no legal entity called "FreeRADIUS", I've signed up for the Amazon Associates program under my name. If the incoming $$ are sufficient, it may be worth legally registering FreeRADIUS as a non-profit entity. In any case, the moneys received from the associates program will go to fostering the development of the server. I will be posting periodic summaries of the $$, and request for comment as to where/how the money should be spent. If, in fact, the link makes money. :) In the interests of transparency, I was a technical reviewer of the book, and saw it in pre-publication draft. It isn't perfect, but it's better than the nearly complete lack of documentation that comes with the server today. It also explains in greater detail the "why" and the "how" of the RADIUS protocol, and may answer many initial questions someone may have about the RADIUS protocol, and the FreeRADIUS server.
