Almost anything 386DX and up could be used, you will probably
need at least a 1GB Hard drive and ethernet controller. :-)
All kidding aside, it will depend on the volume of radius traffic and
the ammount of 'live' data you will keep on the server.
I have about 1000 lines on about 40 clients. I am using a version of
Cistron Radius that I modified to account ot PostGreSQL a few years
ago. I collect around 12000 records per day and keep 3 years worth of
daily and monthly summary data and 1 year of detailed accounting
records. As a backup I also keep standard detail files.
The machine I am using is an 1.5Ghz Athlon with 512MB ram and
a 40GB ide drive. This machine is very under utilized. I have mrtg
monitoring all of the NAS boxes and about 10 other routers and
servers and the load on the machine is still rarely over 0.25 and I have
lots of spare drive space as well.
Hope that helps.

Hi Everybody,
I am new to freeradius, and am Curious to your thoughts of the
requirements such as processor, memory, and Disk space for a radius
server that will be used for no more than 100 Clients.
I don't have a problem building to big of a machine, but I don't want
to build one that would not be able to handle that number of clients.
By the way FreeRadius will be the only thing running on this machine
