0.9.3 install question
I was still running FR 0.8, and because of yesterday's events, decided to go up to 0.93. I did the ./configure, make, make install dance. FR bombed when I tried to run radius, so I put it in debug mode, and saw messages about problems with the dictionary. Perused the INSTALL file, and saw this note: Note that in this release, the location of the dictionary files has changed, to /usr/local/share/freeradius/dictionary. Please ensure that /etc/raddb/dictionary is THE SAME as ./raddb/dictionary. If not, you will have to copy it over by hand; $ cp ./raddb/dictionary /etc/raddb/dictionary But that note seems to contradict itself. It _seems_ as though it should say please ensure that $prefix/etc/raddb/dictionary is the same as /usr/local/share/freeradius/dictionary. So what is the correct process? What I wound up doing was copying $prefix/share/freeradius/dictionary into $prefix/etc/raddb/dictionary . That got me further along the line, but I still had dictionary errors. I eventually copied $prefix/share/freeradius/dictionary* into $prefix/etc/raddb/ , overwriting everything that existed previously. THAT worked, but I'm wondering if this is the intended procedure, or if I just butchered things badly. Secondly, the INSTALL doc continues on to say that I should delete every dictionary file in $prefix/etc/raddb ; is this still correct? (wouldn't that just get me back to the starting point?)

No. It says to copy 'raddb/dictionary' from the distribution to $prefix/etc/raddb/dictionary. Look at raddb/dictionary and share/dictionary in the distribution. They're different. So what is the correct process? What I wound up doing was copying $prefix/share/freeradius/dictionary into $prefix/etc/raddb/dictionary . That got me further along the line, but I still had dictionary errors. I eventually copied $prefix/share/freeradius/dictionary* into $prefix/etc/raddb/ , overwriting everything that existed previously. Don't do that. Please. THAT worked, but I'm wondering if this is the intended procedure, or if I just butchered things badly. You didn't break anything, you just made it more difficult to keep track of the dictionary files. Secondly, the INSTALL doc continues on to say that I should delete every dictionary file in $prefix/etc/raddb ; is this still correct? (wouldn't that just get me back to the starting point?) It's correct. See above. You delete the OLD dictionaries, and install the NEW one. The 30-40 others go into blah/share/freeradius/ Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
