[Thibault Le Meur]

Hi Danny,

Let me correct just some things... can you confirm ?

I think you don't have to update your FreeRADIUS dictionary at all:  
_you_ had to because you did some tests and willingly modified them,  
but I'm quite sure the one provided by the FreeRADIUS project are good  
enough for this purpose ;-)

This is the standard syntax for FreeRADIUS, but INCLUDE syntax for  
radiusclient  /etc/radiusclient/dictionary file was (as you wrote me  
in a private email):
INCLUDE /etc/radiusclient/dictionary.microsoft
INCLUDE /etc/radiusclient/dictionary.merit

Thanks Danny, for your summary to the list.

For everyone else:

I've begun a small tutorial on Poptop integration with FreeRADIUS:
http://wiki.freeradius.org/PopTop
It is currently linked to the http://wiki.freeradius.org/Example_Setups page.

Feel free to update it and/or move it to a more appropriate page on  
the Wiki (maybe in howto) ?

Regards,
Thibault
