how to setup in fedora ?
Hello, I just flashed a linksys with dd-wrt and now I'm trying to setup a freeradius server on a Fedora system. For the life of me, I can't figure out what to do next on the system. I've installed freeradius by running - "sudo yum install freeradius" on my Fedora, but what do I do next? The online wiki hasn't been too helpful with fedora-specific info. I'm hoping to setup a dialupadmin interface and manage things from there. I don't want to hold hands here, but could someone give me a hint on what I should be looking into next ? Puzzled, Abraham V.
look at the configuration files in /etc/raddb, they're pretty self-explanatory. It really depends on what you want to do. On Thu, Jul 8, 2010 at 11:03 PM, Abraham Varricatt <abraham.varricatt+freeradius@googlemail.com> wrote:

There is little or nothing that is OS specific on the Wiki. Basic installation instructions, and that's it. The question is what do you want to *do* with the system? i.e. add clients? That's documented. Configure a user? That's documented. Add a database? That's documented.

What do you want to do? Alan DeKok.
Well, I'm installing this to measure the bandwidth used by different clients on my network. I understand that it can be done from the web interface of "dialupadmin". So, what I need some help is how to setup the web-interface of diaupadmin. As far as documentation goes, I found this - http://freeradius.org/doc/ I've got freeradius running in one terminal window in debug mode with "radiusd -X" , but I can't find where the "radtest" is installed. Any suggestions? -Abraham V. I found this documentation page - http://freeradius.org/doc/ and I'm trying to follow On Fri, Jul 9, 2010 at 1:47 PM, Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com>wrote:

I haven't been able to locate "radtest" on the Fedora system where I installed freeradius, so I installed "RadTest" from www.radutils.com on another XP system. I put in my radius server IP there and tried to do something (I don't understand the settings) But, I got this response on my server, Ignoring request to authentication address * port 1812 from unknown client 192.168.239.27 port 1046 Ready to process requests. Ignoring request to authentication address * port 1812 from unknown client 192.168.239.27 port 1046 Ready to process requests. Ignoring request to authentication address * port 1812 from unknown client 192.168.239.27 port 1046 Ready to process requests. So, that would mean the server is running, I feel. I'm searching for how I could configure and test it. Any help would be appreciated. Searching for documentation, Abraham V.

I got it working. Turns out, "radtest" is part of the freeradius utilites and I needed to install it separately. So, running , yum install freeradius-utils fixed things up for me. Now to continue testing, Abraham V.

Are the clients being authenticated via RADIUS? Does the switch send that information in an accounting packet?

The source code includes "dialup_admin/doc/" directory. Typing "dialup_admin" into the search box on wiki.freeradius.org returns a page with *detailed( documentation.

The Wiki contains a lot of documentation, too. Alan DeKok.
