I was trying to setup a radius server using mysql authentication and I was plumb stuck on this error message.
Could not link driver rlm_sql_mysql:
Very simple fix as it turns out. You just need to install the mysql enabled version of freeradius. For example in Debian linux, simply type:
apt-get install freeradius-mysql

Remember last week when Microsoft proposed to Yahoo? Well, Yahoo yesterday said NO WAY. Microsoft has since responded and threatened to give Yahoo no peace until they consent. This could get interesting.

Microsoft has finally released the much anticipated Service Pack 1 for Windows Vista. Although its not “publicly” available for download from Microsoft yet, it can be found online at various other places. I’ve installed the service pack on both a desktop and a laptop now and I’m well pleased with it. Its worth installing simply for the annoying “slow file copy” bug fix which is included. Hurray!! Of course, there is a whole lot of other fixes included as well.
Check out these screenshots.

This has been in the rumor mill for months, but now it is official. Microsoft has just proposed a $44.6 Billion offer for Yahoo. Wow! Microsoft must have a lot of faith that this acquisition will make sense, because they are plunking down a hunk of cash for Yahoo!
P.S. If anyone is interested, IÂ would sell my business for…Â umm… Â just 1 billion.
