I was still running FR 0.8, and because of yesterday's events, decided to
go up to 0.93. I did the ./configure, make, make install dance. FR
bombed when I tried to run radius, so I put it in debug mode, and saw
messages about problems with the dictionary.
Perused the INSTALL file, and saw this note:
> Note that in this release, the location of the dictionary files has
>changed, to /usr/local/share/freeradius/dictionary. Please ensure
>that /etc/raddb/dictionary is THE SAME as ./raddb/dictionary. If not,
>you will have to copy it over by hand;
>
> $ cp ./raddb/dictionary /etc/raddb/dictionary
But that note seems to contradict itself. It _seems_ as though it should
say "please ensure that $prefix/etc/raddb/dictionary is the same as
/usr/local/share/freeradius/dictionary".
So what is the correct process? What I wound up doing was copying
$prefix/share/freeradius/dictionary into $prefix/etc/raddb/dictionary .
That got me further along the line, but I still had dictionary errors. I
eventually copied $prefix/share/freeradius/dictionary* into
$prefix/etc/raddb/ , overwriting everything that existed previously.
THAT worked, but I'm wondering if this is the intended procedure, or if I
just butchered things badly.
Secondly, the INSTALL doc continues on to say that I should delete every
dictionary file in $prefix/etc/raddb ; is this still correct? (wouldn't
that just get me back to the starting point?)

no knee or elbow joints."
