Inside radiusd
This section gives a general overview on the workings of the FreeRADIUS server program called radiusd.
Configuration files
We've already said that the behavior of radiusd is determined by configuration files. The main configuration file for the FreeRADIUS server is radiusd.conf, which resides in the configuration directory. The location and name of the configuration directory depends on the Linux distribution and the manner in which FreeRADIUS was compiled and installed.
The radiusd.conf file consists of general items and various sections. Contents of other files and directories are included by using the special keyword $INCLUDE inside the radiusd.conf file.
