Pop quiz – modules

1. The files module is configured by the files file in the modules sub-directory under the FreeRADIUS configuration directory. Check if the usersfile directive does not point to a file different from the default of users.
2. Yes, you can split the users file. You have to create two named files sections that point to the separate files. These named sections can now be included inside the authorize section of the virtual server. By doing this FreeRADIUS will make use of different instances of the files module, each with its own configuration.
3. In CentOS the perl module is packed separately and has to be specifically installed before it can be used.
4. When we refer to the named section of the ldap module as ldap_new_department it gives an indication what type of named module is involved (ldap). If we simply call it new_department, there is no real indication as to the type of module we refer to.
