Bug Description

Binary package hint: freeradius

Hi,

The directory modules is missing in freeradius. Had to copy the section by hand and adding expiration {} and logintime{} to a custom file.

Also it would be great to have some Upgrade-notes on this version, because it needs much administration to get an old configuration working.

Also inner-tunnel does not make a sense for me, does it? Just default in sites-enabled seems to be enough.

And some problems with old mysql structures. So, this package seems to need some more tweaks to be ready to be called stable ;-)

Kind regards
Christian

After a night of less sleep, I got the radius server running. If I may speak honestly, I would suggest to create modules-available and modules-enabled for modules derived from the old freeradius 1.x modules {} section, i.e. ldap, pap, mschap, ...

The modules-section as about 1180 lines (including many comments), so to not have the folder and some sample config snippets, users have exactly to know, what they have to configure here.

A second point is the pidfile handling. The paths in radiusd.conf should be:

run_dir = ${localstatedir}/run/freeradius
pidfile = ${run_dir}/freeradius.pid

otherwise freeradius won't start nor stop the service.

What about fixing that run_dir to be correct right out of the box ?
Should a separate bug be created for that "second point" in comment1 ?
