My next suggestion for 2.0 was actually going to be that we rename "radiusd.conf" to "freeradius.conf" (or freeradiusd.conf) and "etc/raddb" to "etc/freeradius" as default. Does this suit you? (A simple rename of radiusd.conf on upgrade is not particularly difficult, given that many options on the config file have also changed)
Yeah, I'll be typing '/etc/raddb' for the next 2 years, but the change makes sense.
Sure. A simple symlink will take care of that though :-)
Our default prefix should probably change from /usr/local to /opt/freeradius/ also in keeping with LSB. (Although I understand that this may be a slightly controversal change)
LSB? How does that affect my Solaris machines? :)
The default prefix can easily be changed by any package manager, so I'm OK with leaving it as /usr/local/ which shouldn't affect any packages.
Sorry. I should has said FHS not LSB (I get them confused sometimg :-) See: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard It's not critical, although isn't Solaris moving to /opt/whatever also for third party software also? (I thought I saw Oracle 10g installed in there on a Solaris machine recently..) In any case FHS is for Unix systems... Not just linux..
