Helping yourself

Open source projects are sometimes criticized because they lack documentation and support. FreeRADIUS has done a great job in supplying proper documentation and ways to get help.

Installed documentation

There is plenty of documentation, which installs with FreeRADIUS. It is in the form of man pages, comments inside configuration files, various README files, and also rfc files.

Man pages

You may not always be sure which man pages are available as part of the FreeRADIUS installation. The following section will show you how you can find this out.
