Yes, and no. 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. > Of course it seems Alan's responses are always to "read the config files > and docs".

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. That's my responsibility, and what I'm good at. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
