title: 'Remove the FreeRadius Server Package'
description: |-
The <tt>freeradius</tt> package should be removed if not in use.
Is this system a RADIUS server? If not, remove the package.
{{{ describe_package_remove(package="freeradius") }}}
The freeradius RPM is not installed by default on a {{{ full_name }}}
system. It is needed only by the RADIUS servers, not by the
clients which use RADIUS for authentication. If the system is not
intended for use as a RADIUS Server it should be removed.
rationale: |-
Unnecessary packages should not be installed to decrease the attack
surface of the system. While this software is clearly essential on a
RADIUS server, it is not necessary on typical desktop or workstation systems.
