So, the issue here is that you want to have the last word?

Well, I will not let you do so.

Alan has his own style, and I like it a lot. I prefer him to write short mails and expend more of his time coding.

It is true that freeradius lacks a good documentation, but I'm not writing it, so I can't complain. Neither you.

Is anyone using freeradius on a redhat linux server (7.1) 
          

with a mssql
        

server database (freetds)?
          

  No.
        

While I'm sure you think not, I'm sure that there are. ;)
      

  <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.
      

  Then learn.

    

  Did you read the README in the rlm_sql_freetds directory?
        

Yes I did, It is completely useless and I STFW and RTFM all 
      

I could and
    

since I am not a C programmer, I am at a crossroads.
      

  That's too bad.

    

I find it very strange that the open source community is so 
      

cocky and rude.

  <shrug> I find it strange that you expect everyone else to work for
you for free.

  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.
