Just did the research on radius servers for an ISP environment. Here's what I know.
Last I checked all but the commercial RADIATOR, and gnu-radius had not been patched for the latest vulnerabilities (which could easily have changed since I looked) and were not being well maintained. RADIATOR is written in perl and a really nice program overall I think. It costs quite a bit for a production environment though, and the creator lives in Australia which makes support e-mail requests pretty interesting. Like he gets your request when you are going to bed, and you get his reply when he's asleep. It was tedious. gnu-radius is what we finally went with. It was EASY to setup. It supports system or mysql based authentication. It's free, and the current maintainer replies to requests on the mailing lists normally same day. ...normally within about 2 hrs for informed questions. (read: you actually checked the documentation and other sources first) There's quite a bit of information in their archives as well, and the online manual is beyond what I've seen for most RADIUS solutions. *shrug* Hope that helps.
