A4. Software for Radius Setup on Fedora Core 4 / 5 / 6

A4.1 Fedora 5 / 6
(last update: 19 May 2007)

FC5 and FC6 have freeradius bundled. FC5 has freeradius-1.0.5 and FC6 has freeradius-1.1.3. Get it from yum if it is not installed. It has quite a few dependences and yum will resolve all required dependences automagically.

[root@pptp ~]# yum install freeradius 

The second software you will need is radiusclient. Get the rpm, radiusclient-0.3.2-0.2.fc5.rf.i386.rpm or radiusclient-0.3.2-0.2.fc6.rf.i386.rpm, from here. Install it with "rpm -ivh".

After installing freeradius and radiusclient, move to Appendix A5

Note: information for FC4 is in the next section .

In additional to the software we installed in the previous sections, we need two more. Freeradius is one of them. FC4 comes with freeradius-1.0.2-2 but it is broken. At the time of writing, the latest one is freeradius-1.0.4-1.FC4.1. Get it from yum as it has quite a few dependences. yum will resolve all required dependences automagically.

[root@pptp ~]# yum install freeradius

The second software you will need is radiusclient. Get the FC4 rpm, radiusclient-0.3.2-0.2.fc4.rf.i386.rpm, from RPMforge. Install it with "rpm -ivh".

After installing freeradius and radiusclient, move to Appendix A5
