17/Sept/2013: FreeRADIUS 2.2.1 released.
The latest release of FreeRADIUS includes many bug fixes and several feature improvements. It's been a year since the previous release, however this one is not a classic and you should avoid this release - it has some logic bugs and proxy handling issues. (At the time of writing you are advised to be using 2.2.0). Check out the release notes

Summary

As part of the continuing programme of improving the eduroam services provided by our members throughout the UK we are contacting organisations on an individual basis where particular issues have been identified. However there are some fairly simple things in the Technical Specification, not involving any RADIUS/802.1X/Wi-Fi aspects, that members can check and fix where necessary to improve their services without needing to be prompted by eduroam(UK).

Audience - eduroam(UK) system administrators and implementors

Although the eduroam(UK) Technical Specification 1.2 has been released for a little while now, with the imminent release of exciting new service features, now might be a good time to review your eduroam service deployment.

Blog Document

Over the past few weeks we've come across a number of situations where users have been sharing, or encouraging the sharing of eduroam credentials between each other. For instance a user might want to provide temporary access for a friend or a visiting lecturer from a non-eduroam organisation might want immediate network access. It should be clear to us as system managers that this is not safe behaviour.
