Thank you Dennis, It is a very, very useful document. Checking both distros RHEL and CentOS there are only old packages available (version 1.1.3) and only i386. I have a rpm already built but it is not properly working. Based on what you described in the doc I better install the old version and then yum upgrade freeradius Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.voxitas.com * updates: ftp.telus.net * addons: mirrors.cat.pdx.edu * extras: yum.singlehop.com Setting up Upgrade Process Could not find update match for freeradius No Packages marked for Update As you can see there is no update available. So I am in the worst situation and have no choice other that rpmbuild. I am on CentOS 64 and I need Mysql. The link you have provided in the doc is for fedora only. Could you please inform from where I can get the spec file for CentOS 64 with MySql ? regards Jair Santos

There has been a fair amount of confusion over how to get FreeRADIUS packages for Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS, how to perform a build if a pre-built package is not available, and how to do some basic maintenance tasks.
So I've created a new FreeRADIUS wiki page with Red Hat specific information:
http://wiki.freeradius.org/Red_Hat_FAQ
If you discover the information is incomplete or in error please let me know and I'll update it.
I will reiterate what has been expressed in several recent threads, if you need to build and/or install FreeRADIUS for Fedora, RHEL, or CentOS your pain threshold will be greatly diminished if you use RPM's developed and distributed for Red Hat systems rather than trying to build from the raw source tarball. The reasons and procedures are hopefully sufficiently well explained in the FAQ (if not let me know and I'll fix it).
