Thanks for the prompt reply!
I'm actually running RHEL. I couldn't find where "DESTDIR" would be
referenced, nor that "R=" is a valid argument. Are these
'undocumented' options?
I guess I can try it and see what happens!
You didn't say you were installing pre-built RPM's, that's a different
matter altogether, I though you were building from source.
You can't simultaneously install two different versions of the same RPM.
Here are a few suggestions for your use case in order of preference:
* Always keep your config files under source code control. That's a good
idea for a variety of reasons. After you install a new version of
freeradius from RPM you can tweak to your hearts desire, once all is
good (or better yet incrementally) commit the files, you can always roll
back versions at your discretion. Source code control is a good thing
(tm). If the config is under source code control you'll always have
history, you can tag working configurations, do experiments, etc. all
without fear.
* After an RPM install the new config files from the new version should
appear as xxx.rpmnew if you've modified the previous verserion, where
xxx is a config file.
* copy /etc/raddb to a backup location.
