Hello, all Several of you have recently asked me about the status of the O'Reilly book on RADIUS that I wrote, and I thought I might send a short update to the list to let you know what's going on.
1. I have created a support site for the book at http://www.theradiusbook.com. There's most everything about the book on the site: a description of the book, a description of me, the table of contents, and a sample chapter (see point 2 below). I also have a mailing list created so readers can discuss the book, offer feedback and criticism, and make suggestions for the next revision. I'll be monitoring that mailing list closely. There are also on the site links to buy the book from every major online distributor, and a link to Amazon which, if you purchase the book through it, will contribute some money to the FreeRADIUS development effort. 2. There are now sample chapters posted on the web. The O'Reilly site (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/RADIUS) has the complete text of Chapter 5, "Getting Started with FreeRADIUS," and a portion of Chapter 9, "New FreeRADIUS Developments." My site has Chapter 5 posted in a web version and a printer-friendly version. You're welcome to check out each of them. 3. My editor wrote me just a few minutes ago and told me he was holding a copy of the actual published book in his hand. Apparently I'm not important enough to receive a copy straight from the press, much to my chagrin, so I've gone ahead and purchased a copy myself. So the book exists, and it should be arriving to all of the major online retailers and some brick-and-mortar stores within the next couple of days. Thanks to all of you who have pre-ordered the book. You should receive your copies very soon. You're welcome to ask me any questions about the book you like - I can be reached at jon at jonathanhassell dot com. Best wishes to you all. --- Jonathan Hassell [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.theradiusbook.com - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
