Download the source.  Untar the package and cd into the doc/ directory. 
When you're done with that, cd back into the raddb directory and read the 
comments in the config files.  Most of the time, what you want to do will 
just work with minimal changes.

Then set it up and give it a shot.  Run it in debug mode (radiusd -X) and 
send some test packets to it with radclient (this is all in the docs I 
listed).

If you want to learn more about radius, you could even do a package 
capture with tcpdump and then read the packets with ethereal.  That will 
show you what is going back and forth between the servers.

If you're feeling really ambitious, read the radius RFCs.  It probably 
won't make much sense if your not used to that kind of document but it 
will help give you an idea of how radius works if your new to it.

Then post questions here and be sure to include your debug output and a 
detailed description of what you're trying to do.
