Update notification for freeradius on Fedora, tackling critical security issues with comprehensive fixes and enhancements.
- Upgrade to upstream v3.0.15 release

Summary

The FreeRADIUS Server Project is a high performance and highly configurable

GPL'd free RADIUS server. The server is similar in some respects to

Livingston's 2.0 server. While FreeRADIUS started as a variant of the

Cistron RADIUS server, they don't share a lot in common any more. It now has

many more features than Cistron or Livingston, and is much more configurable.

FreeRADIUS is an Internet authentication daemon, which implements the RADIUS

protocol, as defined in RFC 2865 (and others). It allows Network Access

Servers (NAS boxes) to perform authentication for dial-up users. There are

also RADIUS clients available for Web servers, firewalls, Unix logins, and

more. Using RADIUS allows authentication and authorization for a network to

be centralized, and minimizes the amount of re-configuration which has to be

done when adding or deleting new users.
