trivially? check what options were used with your last version (if its RPM then check the .spec file!) then ./configure your new source with the same options. then backup your current config directory (eg cp -R /etc/raddb /backups/freeradius/todays_date). if using MySQL, use mysqldump etc to save the database. backup the dictionary file directory too. you MAY have local changes. then shut down the service. make install this should NOT blat files. but it may well change permissions. so now check the permissions for the files. then check the SQL schema to check no new entries are needed! radiusd -X this should run complete to waiting connections line , if not. check why in the output! now run the service normally. welcome to 1.1.4. however, you should now spend time checking the new config files (in the source directory) and comparing them to yours to check for new syntax and options...and new features! (also read the changelog). if not used, remove the excess files such as naslist, clients and realms. alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
