Hi John, The only change I did to the spec file was change the release (and later add the --enable-developer)
What I did do was go to the SOURCES dir and unpack the freeradius-server archive, change the file in question, pack up freeradius-server replacing the original tar.bz2 archive. I did this assuming rpm build would build using whatever code is in that tar.bz2 file. Is this another case of assumption being the mother of all f*ckups?
