Ways to simplify configs?

[Jonathan Gazeley]

Hi Dan,

Seconded, FreeRADIUS is a complex beast (by necessity). I wrote a Puppet 
module that manages a full FreeRADIUS installation, configures modules, 
proxying etc. It manages most parts are Puppet resources but the 
extra-complex bits (e.g. virtual servers) can be deployed from Puppet as 
flat files. You should only need a couple of those. It's pretty 
full-featured but there are one or two omissions that I can add if 
people need them.

Let me know how you get on.

Cheers,
Jonathan
