Yup, that's what it's for.

Might be a good idea. On the other hand, we might leave it as-is,
I've just looked at what other programs do and it appears that they
often use the name of the service instead of the daemon - such as
'imap' and 'ssh' (and not imapd, sshd).

So even though I already put the changes into the Make.inc file I think
I'll revert them. FreeRadius also uses /etc/raddb/radius and not
radiusd.

Also a search on google for /etc/raddb/radius returns numerous hits
for Cistron Radius and not much else so a) it's the standard by now
and b) no major other app. appears to use it.

Mike.
