I'm probably not the best here to answer that, but my first guess would be with security issues. If openssl is updated by your package management system because of a security hole or anything, you will have to recompile freeradius against it to be safe. The second one would the code size: if you have another piece of software using openssl, for example apache, openssl will be loaded twice into memory. That's the two main ones I can think of, but hey, if that's the only way to make freeradius work for you, it might be worth it :-) -- Alain Perry - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
