I completely agree with you. My request was not that somebody put time and effort into creating said RPM, but that if somebody has already created it, where is it. :)
And I have already decided that I will need to master RPM when time allows, but you know how that works. ;) Thank you for the suggestions and kind replies. Brian J. BTW... I found that in the source distribution, there is a freeradius.spec file under the RedHat folder. I was able to successfully create a rpm for my platform using that spec file, which seems to be the biggest stumbling block in RPM creation. I will post it's final resting place when I get a chance.
