Time for action – discovering available man pages for FreeRADIUS

The following commands can be used as a guideline to first determine which FreeRADIUS packages are installed and subsequently determine which files are contained in the package.

dpkg systems

To list all the installed FreeRADIUS packages:

$> dpkg -l | grep radius

Use each of the listed packages as the package argument to the dpkg -L command. Let's take the freeradius-common package for instance:

$> dpkg -L freeradius-common

From the previous output we see that there are many man pages installed under the /usr/share/man directory.

rpm systems

To list all the installed FreeRADIUS packages:

$> rpm -qa | grep radius

Take each of the listed packages and use it as the argument to rpm -ql
