See why I say I don't know a whole lot about how all this works?? :)  So
it sounds like I don't even need LDAP, but it's helpful for at least
testing the RADIUS configuration with a program like NTRadPing to make
sure it's working correctly before jumping into the EAP-TLS setup.

SLES 10 SP2 still ships with FreeRADIUS 1.1.0.  Go figure.  Any
suggestions as to where to find some good HOWTO docs?  I went through
the FreeRADIUS Wiki, but it wasn't very complete.

Thanks!
