  It sounds like you haven't installed the dictionaries, or you aren't
using the correct dictionaries.

  That's a big problem, and really shouldn't happen.  What files are
in your 'raddb' directory, along with the 'users' file?

  No... you've got to compile it.

  To let you modify whatever you want in the Makefile.  If you don't
want to modify anything, then you can probably skip that step.

  No... it creates a directory: radiusd-cistron-1.6.2-stable

  You can then do:

cd radiusd-cistron-1.6.2-stable/src
make

  And from that directory, follow the instructions for debugging the
server in 4.11 of the FAQ:

http://www.freeradius.org/FAQ.html#4.11

  After that, you can do a 'make install'.

  Hmm... the 'make install' option doesn't copy anything to
/etc/raddb.  That's bad....

  You'll have to copy the files from:

radiusd-cistron-1.6.2-stable/raddb to /etc/raddb by hand.


  Miquel?  Shouldn't there be an 'install' target for /etc/raddb?

Maybe:

	mv $(RADIUS_DIR) $(RADIUS_DIR).old.$$$$;exit 0
	install -d $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/clients $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/dictionary $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/dictionary.ascend $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/dictionary.cisco $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/dictionary.compat $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/dictionary.livingston $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/dictionary.shiva $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/dictionary.tunnel $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/dictionary.usr $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/dictionary.versanet $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/hints $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/huntgroups $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/naslist $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/naspasswd $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/realms      $(RADIUS_DIR)
	install -m 600    ../raddb/users                  $(RADIUS_DIR)

  ???

  That seems to work for me.  And the '$$$$' thing in the 'mv' command
translates to '$$' for the shell (current PID), which ensures that the
old 'raddb' directory is NEVER destroyed.  I *HATE* installation
scripts that destroy my databases, they're evil beyond words.
