All- brand New to linux and freeradius, networking. Im winging it as best I can. Linux: RHEL6 Linux System Admin Dropdown with INSTALLED filter shows: freeRadius 2.2.6-6.el6_7(x86_64) Command line "radiusd -v" shows "freeRadius version 3.0.8" Confused. I downloaded the RHEL6 compatible 2.2.6 RPM and installed it using yum. That was what I THOUGHT I was working with. I also ran Yum and updated the servers database, etc. Question 1: Are freeradius RPM files labeled differently than freeRadius installation versions? Meaning a 2.2.6.el6_7 RPM can actually be the binary of a freeRadius version 3.0.8? Then... Following the Using radtest and the HOW-TOs on the freeRadius site I have configured and was able to verify that the freeRadius Server authenticates PAP and EAP-MD5. I have spent several days trying to locate how to configure the freeRadius server and 802.1x Port Security in a LINUX ONLY (no ms windows) and WIRED only test lab on one RHEL6 linux box. I want to eventually enlarge upon that n/w setup to include at least one separate client node. One step at a time. I find many tutorials on how to configure "freeRadius/802.1x client/server" on WIFI and in MSwindows environment, or a combination of linux and MS Windows. Now, it may be my lack of experience and lack of linux/networking understanding, but I cannot confidently follow tutorials that are not in sync with my linux/wired only limitations, especially when written with certain assumptions of a knowledge / experience base/vocabulary that I do not possess at this time. Question 2: Is there any available how to guide that may prove more basic and "for dummies" that I may use to step through a freeRadius/802.1x/Wired only/RHEL linux Only process? thank you for your suggestions in advance. I spent many hours trying to answer this so I wouldnt have to ask. -nube
