LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] My experience with FreeRADIUS and TLS/SSL

I have installed freeradius from repositories in both Debian and Ubuntu.
I have built from source with 'fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc' on both the official freeradius source code and the source provided by apt-src in both Debian and Ubuntu.

On a normal install via aptitude there is no ssl-support, I understand this is because of license issues. Otherwise is works, but is of course useless in a wifi-auth setup.

On a install from source code, after editing debian/rules and debian/control as recommended different places on the net, freeradius fail to start because of ssl error.

Same on install via source code downloaded directly from freeradius.org.

Anyone have a working ssl-enabled freeradius server running Debian or the likes ?

EDIT::Sometimes one is to close and blind to the solution. I took a break and even tested freeradius in the rpm world, which interestingly enough worked out of the box with TTLS.

Anyway:

The solution is two steps (for Debian):
Install freeradius 2.1.8 from lenny backports.
Install package ca-certificates (missing dependency).
