If I were to write an AI Alan DeKok engine, it might say if you could do better, write some docs yourself. He has a point though. There are few people on this list who can offer comprehensive help, and if you have an interesting problem or bug, Alan systematically responds. That's pretty good as far as I'm concerned. Technical writing is hard, especially with the wide range of uses people all want to put Radius to. Sometimes, they'd be better using LDAP for authentication directly with PAM. Sometimes, they would be better at least following one dictum of the docs which is clear enough - setup with the defaults, tweak one thing at a time, and progressively get cleverer. Now if I had time I'd write all sorts of docs, but right now I don't. One problem I have had is negative reactions to some doc suggestions I've made on some lists... let's not discourage each other, but let's also be as pragmatic as possible. -- |-Simon White, Internet Services Manager, Certified Check Point CCSA. |-MTDS Internet, Security, Anti-Virus, Linux and Hosting Solutions. |-MTDS 14, rue du 16 novembre, Agdal, Rabat, Morocco. |-MTDS tel +212.3.767.4861 - fax +212.3.767.4863 - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
