The FreeRADIUS documentation is often unclear, it could easily include more relevant examples but it does not. The instructions not being clear enough and not providing enough examples in "clients.conf" about which IP address of the router to use is certainly not tantamount to not saying where the power switch to the router is! Also, I do have the FreeRADIUS beginners guide book which you mentioned. It is a good overview of the technology but it really does not give many specifics at all about installing the system, especially when working with ssl certificates. Edward
