(RADIATOR) Linux & MS-SQL

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Andrew -

Thanks for your comment. Connectivity to MS-SQL is becoming rather painful, 
as MS has dropped support for Sybase interoperation. There is also a problem 
with Freetds if you require more than one connection to the database.

In general, the easiest methods these days seem to be to use ODBC-Proxy, or 
just run a copy of Radiator on the MS host and proxy the relevant radius 
requests to it.

regards

Hugh
