Does Fedora come with RADIUS?

Hello,

I'd like to install RADIUS on a machine running the latest version of Fedora Linux. Does it come with RADIUS as one of its modules? Or do I need to download and install RADIUS separately.

Thanks,
W.

RADIUS is part of the base, but probably not installed automatically:

Code:

yum search radius

freeradius.i386                          1.0.1-1                base
Matched from:
freeradius
High-performance and highly configurable free RADIUS server.
The FreeRADIUS Server Project is a high performance and highly configurable
GPL'd free RADIUS server. The server is similar in some respects to
Livingston's 2.0 server.  While FreeRADIUS started as a variant of the
Cistron RADIUS server, they don't share a lot in common any more. It now has
many more features than Cistron or Livingston, and is much more configurable.

FreeRADIUS is an Internet authentication daemon, which implements the RADIUS
protocol, as defined in RFC 2865 (and others). It allows Network Access
Servers (NAS boxes) to perform authentication for dial-up users. There are
also RADIUS clients available for Web servers, firewalls, Unix logins, and
more.  Using RADIUS allows authentication and authorization for a network to
be centralized, and minimizes the amount of re-configuration which has to be
done when adding or deleting new users.

You can install it with:

yum install freeradius
