hi, did you check permissions etc for the freeradius config directory - need to ensure you have read/write priv for the user you chose to run as in the certs directory (or wherever you configured EAP to look for certs etc.
standard install with standard permissions and no configuration/touching of files will work alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
