Introduction---------------This program is a RADIUS RFC-compliant daemon, which is derived fromoriginal Livingston Enterprise Inc. (now Lucent Inc.) RADIUS daemon release 2.1. It adds a number of useful features to the LE daemon, i.e.	Control of simultaneous logins.	Support of Ascend, Cisco and USR boxes.	Extended daily/monthly/yearly accouting information on a per-user basis.	MD5 encrypted passwords support (both in passwd file and/or users file).	Expirations in shadow file.	Checking based on time-of-day, traffic and connection time.	Support of PAM authentication and accounting.	Binary form of accounting file.	GDBM formats for users and user stats databases.	Autoconfiguring capabilities of sources. 	Support for Ascend binary data filters (aka abinary attributes).It supports also all features of Lucent daemon, i.e.:	Proxy RADIUS	ActivCard and iPass Support (not tested by me)	Accounting Signatures Now Required	Vendor	Specific Attributes	Virtual Ports	Alternate Password File	Address Binding	Improved Messages	Enhanced DebuggingAll sources are much cleaner than the original versions, andrequire an ANSI C compiler. A lots of potential buffer overflows havebeen corrected by means of massive use of snprintf() and buffersize checking.Directory contents are:BUGS			Some notes about possible bugs and how you can 			submit bug reports.README			This file.ROAMAP			The development roadmap and todo list.README.LUCENT   	The original Lucent README file.ChangeLog*		Brief description of changes to the sources.CREDITS			File of credits.INSTALL			Description of the installation procedure.LICENSE			License of agreement file for YARD RADIUS.LICENSE.LUCENT		Original License of agreement file from Lucent.GPG-KEY			My public key generated with GnuPG.configure		Autoconfiguring script.	aclocal.m4		A few files used by GNU autoconf/automakeconfig.h.inconfigureconfigure.acMakefile.amMakefile.instamp-h.inVERSION			Contains the release number.src/			Sources of YARD RADIUS programs.doc/			Documentation of RADIUS protocol and YARD RADIUS (not			complete).pam/			Example of a PAM module for accounting.conf/			Example of YARD RADIUS database and other stuff.logs/			For installing.include/		C Header files of the programs. man/			Man pages of all programs and extensions.autotools/		Contains internal scripts of autotools.scripts/		Yardradius configuration scripts.All software  is under  a BSD-like  license.

I'm also currently  the Debian Maintainer of  that package(and many others as well). The Debian packages are available athttp://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=yardradius&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=allAs far as I know, these are the only binary packages available, you generally needsto compile it from scratch.3.

You are invited to participate to the developmentprocess by submitting patches and bug reports.
