I've installed Microsoft's mis-named "Windows services for Unix" on an XP box, and managed to build and run the server.
Some notes: 1) Install "bash" as /bin/sh, and ensure that the directory names don't have spaces in them. e.g. "/dev/fs/C/Documents and Settings" is not a good directory name. You're better off creating "/home", and then symlinking "/home/user" to "/dev/fs/C/Documents and Settings/User Name" You can then, in bash, do "cd /home/user", and "configure" will work. The issue is that the "configure" scripts do lots of "pwd"s, and spaces in directory names confuse the heck out of it. 2) The resulting software is SLOW. Don't blame FreeRADIUS, blame Windows. One of the tests I did with another piece of software was to run the same program on Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD, all on the same hardware. Windows (any version) was 2-10 times slower than any version of Unix. So for people wanting to run FreeRADIUS on Windows, there is now an option other than cygwin. It works, but I'm not sure I would recommend using it in the long run. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
