| - | ===== Correction of a small error ===== | ||
| - | * There is a small bug that prevents FreeRADIUS from starting after a restart. | ||

| - | * Create a file called **/ | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | sudo vi / | ||
| - | </ | ||
| - | * Add the following line | ||
| - | <code bash> | ||
| - | d / | ||
