Re: Please send me a sample config
I would if I knew how to do it myself...and yes I've been through the config files and docs. I wouldn't be asking for a $100 per question either because isn't the purpose of this list to provide help? Of course it seems Alan's responses are always to read the config files and docs. Their great for people who are comfortable for Linux and FreeRadius, but for those of us learning the Linux platform and trying to seek all the help we can get it. However a few config examples by people actually using FreeRadius goes a lot further than the provided docs. Just my 2 cents worth and I won't make anyone pay for it.

The list is to provide help TO people who need it, FROM people who are interested in providing that help. I'm willing to help people who read the docs and config files. I'm not very interested in helping people who ask questions on the list, instead of reading the docs or config files. By asking those kind of questions, they've showed that they're not interested in reading the answers I've already provided, so I will be wasting my time if I answer their questions on the list. That's why my response is often go read the config files. Any other answer encourages people to ask redundant questions on the list, when the answer is already sitting in front of them.

However a few config examples by people actually using FreeRadius goes a lot further than the provided docs. The supplied configuration examples cover a large subset of what people want to do. If you want to do something different, then maybe you can submit a new sample configuration, which will be included in a future release. The BIGGEST problem is that in order to do something different, you MUST understand WHAT you want to do, and HOW you want to do it. This involves understanding what RADIUS does, and how the server works. The people who are unwilling to put in that work will not be able to understand how to configure the server, and probably will not understand any answer they're given. For people who are unfamiliar with Linux, system administration, or with setting up another system service, I'm sorry, this list is for FreeRADIUS. Those other questions are probably off-topic, and don't belong on the list. Therefore, they generally won't be answered here. I *am* willing to answer questions from people who run into problems with the server, or who run into a lack of documentation about how the server works.

It works; it works well; and the list is there for when *that* fails, at least in my most humble opinion. Alan's replies are terse, often refer to the configs or ask for patches (it's an open-source project,a fter all, right?) and that's fine; he also replies *quickly* and in cases where something is wrong, with pointers and help in the right direction. Subscribing to the list if you plan to use it is a *great* idea, as a lot of things you might come across will be mentioned, and specific examples for out-of-the-way hardware.

Re: Please send me a sample config
Just my 2 cents, but I could put it any better than Alan and you just did. Exceptional answers from you both, this list has helped me in _HUGE_ ways. Alan is always very helpful, and very fast.
