This makes sense. But as contrib/ is less official, we should be open to make both the RADIUS and LDAP modules (where is in a similar state as RADIUS) more official. One approach could by moving them into src/plugins/ - similar to what we do with auth-pam. Both RADIUS and LDAP are important for many installations, I believe this /could/ be a big win. BUT! That requires more people to step up and get involved and be active in maintenance of these plug-ins. Until that happens contrib/ is currently the best location. -- kind regards, David Sommerseth OpenVPN Technologies, Inc
