HELP!!!!!!! I'm so confused

[Steve Camacho]

Hello,   I came across freeRADIUS recently and decided to give it a try.  It seems like a great idea and it has all the features I need.  However, installing it is another story.  I’m trying to setup freeRADIUS to do some simple authentication and monitoring for my dialup and ISDN users.  I don’t need it for anything else.  I’m using a Cisco AS 5300 for the NAS (terminal server) and I’m running freeRADIUS on FreeBSD 4.2.  I wanted to design my own database and point freeRADIUS to certain tables and fields within the DB.  I hope to make this part of a much larger system.  However I’m not sure if that’s possible.  Does FreeRADIUS create its own DB and tables or can it be customized?  What I really need is more detailed instruction for installation on FreeBSD 4.2 using mySQL.  If someone could give me any information on this topic or point me in the correct direction that would be great. I looked through the FAQs and the /doc directory and I could not find enough information to clarify things for me.  Anything you can suggest would be great.    Thanks in advance,   ---------------------------------------------- Steve Camacho Jr.  Systems Administrator
