Thanks heaps Kelvin & Frank, worked a treat!

 

I re downloaded the Debian free radius package, extracted and replaced the original /etc/freeradius/dictionary file, chomod & chown'd it and added the line '$INCLUDE        /usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.mikrotik'.

 

I didn't do step 3 though (?).

 

Now when it starts I get this (which appears normal);

        Subject: Errors reading dictionary - MikroTik


        Hi,

        I get the following error trying to start freeradius;

        daytona:~# freeradius -x
        Starting - reading configuration files ...
        Errors reading dictionary: dict_init:
/etc/freeradius/dictionary[177]: invalid ATTRIBUTE line
        Errors reading radiusd.conf
        daytona:~#

        Im using the dictionary file provided by MikroTik at
http://www.mikrotik.com/Documentation/manual_2.9/dictionary
<http://www.mikrotik.com/Documentation/manual_2.9/dictionary> whihc  I
installed by typing;


        cd /etc/freeradius
        rm dictionary
        wget
         http://www.mikrotik.com/Documentation/manual_2.9/dictionary
<http://www.mikrotik.com/Documentation/manual_2.9/dictionary >
        chmod 640 dictionary
        chown root.freerad dictionary
        I'm relatively new to FreeRADIUS and any help would be
appreciated.

        Regards

        Liam

1. put back the dictionary you deleted.
2. in the /etc/freeradius/dictionary file add a line:
$INCLUDE        /usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.mikrotik
3.  Replace dictionary.mikrotik in /usr/share/freeradius with lines 196
- end of the file in your url

Now the server should load correctly.

Regards,
Frank Ranner
