I had never installed nor configured software on a Linux box in my life. In fact, I hadn't used Unix for nearly 10 years (and even then I was far from expert) and had never used Linux. I bought a second hand PC, bought the Red Hat Linux 7.2 Bible, and got Linux running. I downloaded FreeRADIUS and MySQL and configured and installed both with help from the FreeRADIUS FAQ, the included docs, this mailing list archive and other sources easily found on the web. I got FreeRADIUS up and running with very few problems. All it takes is some reading, some experimenting and some patience if this is new to you. If I can do this, anybody can. Many thanks to Alan, Chris and so many of the rest of you that contribute to this project. Steve Coleman - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
