Excellent, that's what I'm trying to use.

And for all users that you wish to allow accessing the database?

I'm really 'green' with mysql as well, so I guess this next problem is
something that's related to my newness with mysql.

Running ./fs-setup freeside , this appears after the RADIUS atttributes
prompt :-
--cut here--
DBI->connect error: Access denied for user: 'freeside at localhost' (Using
password : YES) at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/FS/UID.pm line 76
--cut here--

I've given a user of freeside in mysql with the appropriate password there.
My mapsecrets file has :-
--cut here--
freeside conf.DBI:mysql:freeside/secrets
freeside DBI:mysql:freeside
freeside
password
--cut here--


Once again, thanks for your help.
