Various tutorials on setting up a freeRADIUS server refers to the eap.conf file in the /etc/raddb folder. However when i install freeRADIUS on my ubuntu server, the eap.conf file are found in /etc/freeradius.

Is there a difference on the two folders: /etc/raddb and /etc/freeradius?

Typically the software has a default location for configuration files decided on by the developer which can be overridden at build time.

You, or typically a package maintainer and the packaging guidelines in use for that distribution, can decide on an alternate location.

The official freeradius wiki refers to both: /etc/raddb and /etc/freeradius

A location such as /etc/raddb might be chosen for backwards compatibility with a different Radius server.

Where /etc/freeradius is more obvious location and consistent location for a product called FreeRadius to store configuration files...

    Only Debian/Ubuntu uses /etc/freeradius, the official packages, Centos, RHEL and others use /etc/raddb
