Naming Conventions

This chapter describes file naming conventions used throughout this document.

Programs from the GNU Radius package use the following directories to store various configuration and log files:

Configuration or database directory: A directory where all configuration files are stored.
Log directory: A directory where radiusd stores its log files.
Accounting directory: A directory where radiusd stores accounting detail files section Detailed Request Accounting.

The default locations of these directories are determined at compile time. By default these are:

Directory	Short Name	Default location
Configuration directory	raddb	/usr/local/etc/raddb
Log directory	radlog	/var/log
Accounting directory	radacct	/var/log/radacct

These location may differ depending on your local site configuration.

Throughout this document we will refer to these directories by their short names, e.g. saying

    ... this information is contained in file `raddb/sqlserver'

we actually mean `/usr/local/etc/raddb/sqlserver'.

If necessary, locations of these directories can be overridden by specifying appropriate command line options to a program. For example, any program from the GNU Radius package accepts command line option -d or --directory, which introduces the configuration directory path.
