[Bug-gnu-radius] Patch proposal: include of absolute paths in the dictionary files

[Maurice Makaay]

Hi,

We have a lot of radiusservers running on one system. We use a custom
dictionary for InterNLnet to have a couple of internally used attributes
(by using the rewriting capabilities of gnu-radius). I figured it would
be a good idea to store our dict.internlnet in a central place on the
server (/etc/radius/dict.internlnet). So I added the following to the
main dictionary file:

    $INCLUDE /etc/radius/dict.internlnet

This however did not work like expected. The radius server tried to open
<theradiusraddbdirectory>/etc/radius/dict.internlnet. Could the attached
patch be applied to lib/dict.c? This patch will allow absolute paths
to be used in the $INCLUDE statement of dictionary files.

Regards,
