Alan, Yes thanks for the reply you are correct it probably should go into the RPM I can rewrite the RHEL rpm to do this if I knew what to do? When I simply run radiusd -X the keys are created is there a "non interactive" option I can use to create the keys for the first time such as radiusd --create-keys (obviously that isn't it)...
Or is there another way to create the keys?
