With FC4 you can either use the existing RPM (yum
install ....) or the new 1.1.0 FreeRadius source code and compile
it.
It actually compiles without any problems on FC4. The
installation path (make install) is a bit different from the RPM (/etc/raddb)
path as the binaries/libraries (I
guess) are installed in different directories (/usr/local/etc/raddb), but that
can be switch with a
./configure option
First install MySQL, FreeRadius, phpMyAdmin
...
You then edit the corresponding radiusd.conf file and
modify it for sql support.
The following examples might not be complete, but they
are direct cut and pastes from my files and it works fine.
radiusd.conf:
$INCLUDE ${confdir}/sql.conf
authorize
{
...
# Look
in an SQL database. The schema of the
database
# is meant to
mirror the "users" file.
#
# See "Authorization
Queries" in sql.conf
sql
}
accounting {
...
#
Log traffic to an SQL database.
#
# See "Accounting
queries" in sql.conf
sql
}
session {
#
radutmp
#
# See "Simultaneous Use
Checking Querie" in sql.conf
sql
}
post-auth {
# After
authenticating the user, do another SQL
qeury.
#
# See "Authentication
Logging Queries" in sql.conf
sql
}
sql.conf:
server =
"localhost"
login =
"root"
password =
"rootpass"
You can then
start FreeRadius with 'service radiusd
start'.
To get detailed
debug information you can edit the /etc/init.d/radiusd file and increase the
debug level:
daemon $RADIUSD -y -XXXX -d
$CONFIGD
The -XXXX is
the debug level. Debug information is written to STDout and you can redirect
it into a file
with e.g.
'service radiusd start >>
radDebug.log'
Hope this helps!

Thank you for this mailing list. I am trying
to install Freeradius on a FC4 device. I am also trying to use the
MySql database function. I am having problems getting a good
install. So, as usual, I have a few questions for you
all.
- Is there a good document that I can follow that
will give me step-by-step instructions to install freeradius on Fedora
4? I would even do FreeBSD if need be but I am more familiar with
the FC 4 processes.
- Is there a GUI front-end that will allow us to
https into the FreeRadius Server and make changes to the mysql
database?
- Where would I find the debug documents that I read
about when I execute the radtest executable?
Thanks for the help.
