It seems to me that the ver of FreeRadius is 1.0.1:
yum list | grep "radius" freeradius.i386 1.0.1-3.RHEL4 installed freeradius-mysql.i386 1.0.1-3.RHEL4 base
freeradius-postgresql.i386 1.0.1-3.RHEL4 base
freeradius-unixODBC.i386 1.0.1-3.RHEL4 base
According to freeradius.org, this was released 8/17/04 and 1.1.0 was released 1/12/06
Why is the distributed version so far behind?
Also I am trying to figure out how to get dialup_admin working. I cannot find any reference to it, how to get it working within Apache and access it....
(Hopefully Alan is here at IETF, and can help me).

For centos, the answer is "Because that's what upstream provides". For upstream, no idea what their reasoning is. Keep in mind that the idea isn't to have the latest&greatest, but to have a stable solution.

I looked into versions of FreeRadius a few months ago (ie, before version 1.1 came out) and I found that although the recommended version at the time was 1.0.4 most distributions offered earlier versions and 1.0.1 was not uncommon. If I remember correctly, it was only the ultra-up-to-date distributions like Gentoo that had the latest version.
I guess that the move from 1.0 to 1.1 is considered a major update that will come with CentOS 5.
