| 2 | ========================= |
| 3 | |
| 4 | This directory contains module-specific configuration files. These |
| 5 | files are in a format different from the one used by the main |
| 6 | `radiusd.conf` files. Earlier versions of the server had many |
| 7 | module-specific files in the main `raddb` directory. The directory |
| 8 | contained many files, and it was not clear which files did what. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | For Version 3 of FreeRADIUS, we have moved to a consistent naming |
| 11 | scheme. Each module-specific configuration file is placed in this |
| 12 | directory, in a subdirectory named for the module. Where necessary, |
| 13 | files in the subdirectory have been named for the processing section |
| 14 | where they are used. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | For example, the `users` file is now located in |
| 17 | `mods-config/files/authorize`. That filename tells us three things: |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 1. The file is used in the `authorize` section. |
| 20 | 2. The file is used by the `files` module. |
| 21 | 3. It is a "module configuration" file, which is a specific format. |
