Freeradius+mysql error

[Kamran Bukhari]

U dont have to change anything to my.cnf as when u install the new
rpm, the cnf file will be automatically adjusted. After succesful
installation, run the mysql client. After the successful running, do
some changes to sql.conf in raddb as u wish. for tutorial , try mysql
website as they got good manual.
