  Huh?  Why would you do that?  The default authorize and authenticate
sections are in sites-enabled/default.  Look there.

  See sites-enabled/default for examples of using SQL.  Look for "sql".

  Either you've edited it massively from the default, or you've edited
it to post it to the list.  PLEASE don't do more than minor edits to the
default configuration.  It works.  It's designed to work.  It's designed
to give examples and comments about the changes needed to get it to work
with SQL, LDAP, etc.

  This one is in sites-enabled/default.  Use that.

  Don't put a virtual server in radiusd.conf.
