<shrug> That's nice for you. I guess I'm confused when I remember an email from the freetds library developers, who told this list that the rlm_sql_freetds module was using an unsupported API for freetds, and wouldn't build or link to the freetds library. > > So... did you build the rlm_sql_freetds module? > > That was/is my problem, I don't understand how to.

I find it doubly strange that when I empower you by saying that you can fix the problem yourself, that you get angry at me. > I would think that someone who wants to be accepted, or have their project > accepted, would be more open to assisting and understanding and less likely > to alienate and pigeonhole users as lazy and ignorant. Sorry, I misread that as "to alienate and pigeonhole lazy and ignorant users" If you don't know C, then learn, or hire someone who does know it to fix the module. If you're unwilling to do either one, then don't be surprised when no one has the time to do work that you're unwilling to do yourself. To me, that paragraph summarizes my problems with people who complain about the "rudeness" of the open source "community". By "community", they mean "everyone else but me", and by "rude", they mean "the community refuses to do what I want, when I want it." Grow up. You've got the product of 3+ years of development by 10+ people in FreeRADIUS for *free*. If it's not perfect, then calling the developers names won't give them more incentive to help you.
