Description Jeff Palmer 2002-05-06 08:30:01 UTC 
ports/ascend-radius is no longer supported by the developer. Acend was purchased by Lucent 
Technology.

Referencing ftp://ftp.ascend.com/pub/Software-Releases/Radius/Free-RADIUS_EOL.txt shows that 
the software has reached 'End of Life, End of Availability' as of February 14, 2002.

Later in that document, they reccomend switching to NavisRadius, which is a pay 
product.

The ports/ascend-radius port is marked forbidden, due to a exploitable buffer overflow.

Fix: 

Remove this port. the software developers will not be updating or correcting this problem.

Hi,

This seems quite reasonable to me. Does anyone have any objections to
removing this port?

Regards,
Mark
