I don't but I use radiusd-cistro so I just got it and tried it.  After
setting up the correct paths in the module config it loaded up alright.

I get problems with net::list_hosts when i try to add users.  In my
opinion webmin modules should 'just work' once configured, otherwise why
use webmin, it is easier configuring it by hand, so I'm not
investigating that problem any further.

I don't know what those category files it wants are.  Like you I don't
have them and the GNU radius manual makes no mention of them.

WRT the timeouts, there are some 'generic' timeout options provided in
the GNU radius servers which the module doesn't seem to offer, the
majority of timeouts apply to specific accounting dictionaries only and
the module wouldn't dare tackle them I'd suggest, so therefore doesn't
present any such options for those either.

I configure cistron by hand, I only use it on a very basic level for
authentication only, so I'm not conversant with all the options, but I
know a bare-bones module when I see one :)
