  There have been other people installing FreeRADIUS with no
experience in RADIUS.  They've managed to muddle through.

  If you have any comments or additions to the documentation, PLEASE
submit patches or new files to the list.  Sadly, most people
installing the server for the first time complain about the lack of
docs, and after they've installed it, don't give any feedback as to
what problems they had.

  That's one reason why the docs are so minimal.


  Another is that it's simply impossible to describe how to set up
*your* configuration.  Every admin wants something localized, and
there's no way that 10,000 different configurations  will get
documented.

  Instead, we supply the pieces, and documentation for those pieces.
How to put them together is up to you.


  By following the FAQ, you can have a server up and running in
probably 20 minutes.  It won't do everything you want, but it will b e
working, and you can verify that it's working.  After that, you can
gradually modify the configuration to do more of what you want.

  It's the process I use to set up and test a new installation.
