Authenticating groups via LDAP

[Johnny R]

Alan,

John Maher at the first post asked if  there is  any resource that is
particularly good at explaining how radius and its config files really
works. I want just to ask it again, if possible, it there is any thread or
link illustrating how all files in /etc/radb interact to each other.
Thank U.
