RE: dictionary file - rfc compilant or not - Authen::Radius?
The format of the dictionary file is implementation specific (see the query a few days ago regarding a dictionary supplied in SBR format, to which I replied). Several implementers have chosen to use the same format but it's not mandated in any RFC AFAIK.

Hello, Can someone tell me if the syntax of the dictionary file(s) is documented somewhere in an RFC or not? (And if freeradius implements that RFC or not?) I'm asking this because the 'ecnrypt=1' after User-Password in the dictionary file is breaking the perl module Authen::Radius, I mailed the author of this module (informing him about it) and he found the used syntax strange... So can anyone confirm wheter this is a fault of freeradius or one of Authen::Radius? Regards, Bram - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

There are *much* stranger dictionary file formats. So can anyone confirm wheter this is a fault of freeradius or one of Authen::Radius? The FreeRADIUS dictionary files are meant to be used by FreeRADIUS. I have no idea what, if any, dictionary files are supplied by Authen::Radius. But I'm not surprised that a non-FreeRADIUS program has issues reading the FreeRADIUS dictionaries. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

Found on http://search.cpan.org/~manowar/RadiusPerl-0.12/Radius.pm ... load_dictionary ( [ DICTIONARY ] ) Loads the definitions in the specified Radius dictionary file (standard Livingston radiusd format). Tries to load '/etc/raddb/dictionary' when no argument is specified, or dies. NOTE: you need to load valid dictionary if you plan to send Radius requests with other attributes than just User-Name/Password. From http://www.portmasters.com/downloads.html ( http://www.portmasters.com/www.livingston.com/ ): 'This is Livingston's original Radius server ... This program is no longer updated but it is still quite functional. We recommend Free Radius, Cistron Radius or Yard, all based on this version.' Early version of the module Authen::Radius seems to be based on the dictionary file of Linvingston's Radius (ftp://ftp.portmasters.com/pub/le/radius/dictionary ). But that dictionary file does not have the $include-syntax, for which support has been added in 2003, so the documentation of that Authen::Radius is simply wrong. This brings me back to my question: is there an agreement between different radius-servers (or an rfc) on the syntax for dictionary files (maybe between the one that are based on the Linvingtons's Radius server?)? or what syntax matches all lines in the freeradius-dictionary? (ofcourse a syntax that allows the addition of new elements (in the future that is) would be desired) In my opinion it would make sense if there is one, since this would make it easier for the ones writing modules and/or clients to connect to a Radius server... Any knows? Or would it be a better idea to re-post this at the devloppers mailinglist? Bram - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
