That's not my point. I'm not trying to say that you should do that but 
rather to print some kind of message showing that the server has read 
the module instantiation. Note that I'm not being pretentious: you could 
warn the user with a message that the module will not be loaded since 
it's not used and *that* would be being pretentious.

FreeRADIUS is a very nice product though I think at least you should 
concede me that it lacks of good documentation IMHO. I was trying to add 
a module not knowing of the above mentioned behavior. It results in only 
adding the entry inside the instantiation section and testing if 
'radiusd -X' returned some message to give me a clue that the module 
instantiation was parsed at least. You'll surely think I'm a jerk (and 
I'm not saying the opposite :-P ), but I lose about an hour till I 
figured out what was the whole issue.

Thanks for the answers,
