… www.deployingradius.com, follow the how to … and really and I mean REALLY read the documentation in the conf files … all of them. Print them out in color … all of them. Spread them out all over your work surface, make piles, arrange them in the order they will be processed in, etc. This is not a joke, it really helped me make sense of the program.
>2)what should be the subdirectory structure for freeradius and where it should be formed in the directory structure?
… assuming you didn’t change anything in the compilation command then on centOS it was in /usr/local/etc/raddb when I installed from source however this is related to your third question
>3)which sub directory should I give the "radius -X" command.
… this is really a general linux question, if you cant find the radius command try “ locate radius” in your favorite shell, if you haven’t rebuilt your locate DB since you installed then “man locate” will be your best friend.
Alan, I hope it is ok to plug your site, I found it an invaluable tool : )

Subject: Re: Encountering error when using "radius -X"
Hi,
I have ubuntu 9.10. Can you please tell me
1)Before running "radius -X" what all steps should be completed?
2)what should be the subdirectory structure for freeradius and where it should be formed in the directory structure?
3)which sub directory should I give the "radius -X" command.
I guess these steps might help me nail down why I am getting this error :
radiusd: error while loading shared libraries: libfreeradius-radius-2.1.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
When I run "radius -X" under "/home/kartik/Downloads/freeradius-2.1.0+dfsg/"
Thank you.

Hi,
@Fablen:
I first used "synaptic packet manger" to install free radius as it synaptic pkt. manger takes care of the dependencies. After insatlling freeradius through the synaptic pkt. manger I could not find any of the freeradius subdirectories.
So, I removed freeradius completely again using synaptic manager.
Then I decided to download .tar.gz file from the link that I had sent earlier and ran:
./configure
make
make install
I just got one error for some particular package, I googled the error and insatlled "libltdl-dev" package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/libltdl-dev
After that everything went smoothly and I did face any error. I am sure all dependencies were found.
can you also tell me why I don't have "raddb" in /etc/ ?. It makes me believe as If there something is wrong (which might ot might noe be true!!)
The /etc/raddb is the default settings. In my debian box, radius files are in the directry /etc/freeradius/
In general you can get the list of the files from a deb package with the command line :
$> dpkg -L <name of the package>
Here we have :
$> dpkg -L freeradius | grep etc
/etc
/etc/pam.d
