So how do you suppress

[Walter Reynolds]

So what 'rest of the documentation' should I look at.  I guess I am not 
seeing how I should know that the "auth_log" is a variant of the "detail" 
module.

I am hoping i can get a better understanding of the documentations so I 
would not have to ask questions in the future.  So for this example I saw 
the following:

1. Note in changelog about suppress
2. Section under 'detail' in radiusd.conf file with supress option 
commented out.

So I now understand that I should be able to suppress information from any 
of the detail sections by adding an additional suppress line under that 
module subsection.

Is this something that I should have understood to start with or is there 
documentation that I did not see and should read?

   The rest of the documentation explains how the modules are set up.
The "auth_log" module is a variant of the "detail" module.  Nothing is
different except the name, and the options you put into it's
configuration.
