So I went back to a clean install of Fedora 11, followed the instructions on installing freeradius via yum.
Then I issued the command:

chkconfig --list radiusd (and got the following)
radiusd 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

so i entered sudo chkconfig radiusd on
and then I got
chkconfig --list radiusd
radiusd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off

I then restart the computer to verify that it works correctly, and it does not. I still have to log into an account before the service starts.
Is there anything else I can try to get this working correctly?
