query on files under /etc/raddb/certs

[SIMON BABY]

Hi Alan,

Thank you for replying to me. So if, I don't need to create certs and keys
Can I delete all those files (To make them more secure by not creating any
cert and key by someone who can hack) . I have some static certs and key
files.

Regards
Simon
