Portslave
Portslave is a RADIUS client used to create dialup access servers. It uses the RADIUS protocol to authenticate from a remote RADIUS server which contains the actual user account information. It primarily is for PPP access, but also works with other protocols and services.

Changes: Support for caller line identification has been added. A bug in the callback code has been fixed, as well as some bugs in ctlportslave that resulted in SEGV or in incorrect data display. It can now compile on systems with older libc6-dev setup.

Changes: Local authentication works properly, and works with MD5 shadow passwords. Now you can run it without a RADIUS server. Basic IPv6 support has been added. Now it can talk to an IPv6 capable RADIUS server (if there is one). This change isn't very useful, as there doesn't seem to be an IPv6 RADIUS server available. But the code structure changes allow further IPv6 development with ease.
