Add freeradius, a RADIUS daemon implementation compatible with

livingston radiusd-2.01.

This RADIUS implementation implements MS-CHAP authentication whereas
most or all of the others don't.

Forced into it by:	wollman (after removing freeradius-devel)

+  All code in this server was written from scratch.
+
+  The server is mostly compatible with livingston radiusd-2.01
+  (no menus or s/key support though) but with more feautures, such as:
+
+    o Can limit max. number of simultaneous logins on a per-user basis!
+    o Multiple DEFAULT entries, that can optionally fall-through.
+    o In fact, every entry can fall-through
+    o Deny/permit access based on huntgroup users dials into
+    o Set certain parameters (such as static IP address) based on huntgroup
+    o Extra "hints" file that can select SLIP/PPP/rlogin based on
+      username pattern (Puser or user.ppp is PPP, plain "user" is rlogin etc).
+    o Can execute an external program when user has authenticated (for example
+      to run a sendmail queue).
+    o Can use `$INCLUDE filename' in radiusd.conf, users, and dictionary files
+    o Can act as a proxy server, relaying requests to a remote server
+    o Supports Vendor-Specific attributes
+    o No good documentation at all, just like the original radiusd 1.16!
+
+  Then of course for general RADIUS questions, especially if you are using
+  Livingston  / Lucent RABU equipment, there is the portmaster-radius mailing
+  list. Send mail to portmaster-radius-request@livingston.com to find
+  out how to subscribe.
