Information_schema is a built in database used to provide information about the mysql database server. You will have to import the required database schemas and configure the sql module to use MySQL as your datastore. See raddb/sql/mysql. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

> Don't be *too* helpful, my head may explode. Try asking questions about freeradius not how to use a computer. How to find out if a process is running: you type a command at the command prompt and computer lists the running processes. Same on Windows, OS X, Linux or any other operating system. Which command? Read the manual. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html

new to freeRADIUS - Help
Hi, I am in the process of setting up freeRADIUS on Mac OSX. We're a small group looking into becoming a WISP. Can anyone tell me if there is a RAS that runs on OSX? The install of freeRADIUS itself seems to have gone smoothly, and I installed MySQL 5.1 as well, no hitches. I have not, tho, found out how to tell is freeRADIUS is actually running or not.
