Thats true, but as a beginner it is not clear what is important to set 
up. Most people simply want to connect their notebook over WLAN to their 
network, other go more into detail with LDAP, SQL whatever. Knowledge 
about EAP-PEAP, EAP-TLS, MSCHAPv2 is still not developed. As you and 
others reply on questions of people on the list is very often like "tell 
us in detail what you want to do..." is not what many people seek, I 
think most expect to be told what is important and what they should do. 
As always in IT-Business, the customer doesn't know what he needs, but 
it must be nice and fancy when it is ready. :-))

FR is a great program, thanks a lot to all who work on this!

I tried that with source-install of the deb, but compilation fails on 
sarge and unstable, bug list is full on debian.org, so I'am not the only 
one who had this problem. I think at least the eap module relies on some 
lib which is not GPL and not included into Debian and they try to move 
around it. But FR without EAP is at least for me useless.

I did not try the debian dir of the official tar of freeradius.org, I 
will do that soon, because Suse 10.1 sucks.

P.S: I look for a good book, covering all about radius and especially 
FR. As an overview and as a reference.
