Internal hashing code for radiusd

Hi all,
I've had a number of requests for our mods to radiusd that allow it to do
hashed lookup independent of dbm. I've put the code on our ftp server at

ftp://ftp.optc.com/pub/software/radius-hash/

The code includes a modified users.c, a program to generate the hash
table, and a modified makefile that will build the internal hashing
version when given "hashed" as the target. There are several
deficiencies, foremost among them the inability to detect an out-of-date
or invalid hash table; if there's sufficient interest, I can add the
code. Right now, we're getting around this by using a controlled update
procedure.

The code is provided with NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

It'd be nice if someone at Livingston picked this up and incorporated it
into the server code -- just in case others also have problems getting
dbm to work.
