That is correct.  Here is an exerpt from sql.conf

        # Connect info
        server = "localhost"
        login = "root"
        password = "***the real password is in the file****"

        # Database table configuration
        radius_db = "radius"

And I have already created the radius database and imported the schema.

Just to clarify. It looks as though MySQL is running on the localhost
(same machine as FreeRADIUS) and you are logging into it with username
'root'. The FreeRADIUS database is named 'radius'. This is correct?
