Insight
The freeradius package included in Mandriva Linux 2008.1 had hardcoded the use of the '-y' option in its initscript, which is no longer a valid option in the new major version of 2.0. As a result, the initscript was unable to launch the service correctly. As well, a file name error in the EAP module configuration triggered an error at launch.
Both issues are corrected with this update package.
