Hi Chad!

Is there any particular reason that you are compiling from source (and
using a very old version of freeradis aswell)? If there is no absolute
requirement for you to compile from source I'd suggest using the
freeradius package in the ubuntu repository. That should get you started
with freeradius. YMMV but once you've had a chance to play around with
freeradius and maybe want to start using it in a more demanding fashion
- then I'd go with compiling it myself. Install it using the following
command:

sudo apt-get install freeradius

In Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) you'll be installing freeradius 1.1.3 (the latest
stable version). I think Ubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) carries freeradius 1.1.2 -
but I'm not sure.

BR,
