Yes, they're generally pretty good for that. What put me off the O'Rielly book was it's age.. Although I only started using FreeRADIUS with 1.1.4 , i've seen pretty rapid development. So I was concerned about how much relevance a book published in 2002 has today. There are also amazingly useful, mostly undocumented features like SQL Xlat, which won't be covered anywhere except the mailing list archives. But I guess for theory reference books are still pretty good :) Oh Btw on a completely unrelated subject, if you fix the 'Use Client-Ip-Address/ Packet-Src-IP-Address attribute as a check item' then I can push the CVS head out live and give you some proper feedback ;) -- Arran Cudbard-Bell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Authentication Authorisation & Accounting Officer Infrastructure Services | ENG1 FF08 EXT:3900 - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
