The freeradius-users mailing list is for users of the FreeRADIUS server not Cistron's server, not other RADIUS servers. Rules specifically for the users's list --------------------------------------- * Describe the version of FreeRADIUS: In your message to the list, always specify what version of FreeRADIUS you're talking about. If you're running some other server than FreeRADIUS (like Cistron or Livingston), you will be invited to eat your keyboard so you can't post again. * If you suspect a bug, attempt to reproduce it with the latest release in the same major/minor version branch *before* posting it to the mailing list. See http://freeradius.org/download.html for release information. * Always include debug output: If you're experiencing an issue configuring or running FreeRADIUS, always include the (appropriately redacted) output of ``radiusd -X``, or ``radiusd -xx -l stdout -f`` if you suspect threading issues. General rules for all FreeRADIUS lists -------------------------------------- * No HTML on the list. If you're using a mail program that is HTML capable such as Netscape or Outlook, please turn HTML posting off. The mail server will do its best to strip HTML and convert it to plaintext, but it might not always do a good job. Many, many people on the list have chosen to use mail programs that aren't HTML capable and they can barely read your message -- it shows up as HTML junk. There are a lot of webpages that can show you how. * Learn how to Quote. When replying to a message, quote only the relevant parts of the previous message, and reply below every quoted part. Also make sure you have set the quoting character to "> " if your mailer has such a setting (like Outlook). This is a non-HTML, internet standard list -- things like "the original message is in blue my answer is in red" don't work. In MS Outlook this is called Internet-style quoting. * Starting a new subject. When you start a new subject, don't do it by replying to a previous message. Not even if you change the subject header -- people use threaded mail readers, and even if you do change the subject header it still looks like your message is part of the discussion you are replying to. Simply start a new fresh message to freeradius-devel@lists.freeradius.org . * Read the Netiquette. The netiquette has a few rules of behaviour that are applicable to all means of electronic communication. The netiquette is also known as RFC1855. TL;DR - Reproduce bugs with latest release, Include version #, no HTML, use radiusd -X, read the FAQ. -- Arran Cudbard-Bell <a.cudbardb@freeradius.org> FreeRADIUS development team FD31 3077 42EC 7FCD 32FE 5EE2 56CF 27F9 30A8 CAA2
