Sorry for the delay and for bringing up an old thread... It will probably be another year before we do an update on the book. When I began to write the current edition, it was a primary objective (from Tim himself, I believe, but I'm not certain) to make the book about RADIUS, the protocol, and not necessarily lean toward any specific product. I'm not sure that this attitude has changed, although when we do another edition I'll certainly expand the coverage of FreeRADIUS provided.
The book sat in production for three months after I finished writing the manuscript (in April-May 2002). Unfortunately the text was committed to frame so I was unable to make any updates, so it's unfortunate that the FreeRADIUS-specific portions became one version out of date before the book ever went to press. However, while some things have changed, I still believe it's a good introduction to installing and configuring the server. When the time comes closer for updating the book, I'll definitely solicit help from the list to see what topics, specific coverage, and discussions you'd like to see.

The existing Radius title is ok as far as it goes and the two freeradius chapters are a plus but IMO it does not go far enough. I would have thought that FreeRadius deserves to have it's own creature. Since Jonathon Hassels book features a molusc, I'd suggest an octopus (a higher order marine species).
