+The mods-config Directory
+=========================
+
+This directory contains module-specific configuration files.  These
+files are in a format different from the one used by the main
+`radiusd.conf` files.  Earlier versions of the server had many
+module-specific files in the main `raddb` directory.  The directory
+contained many files, and it was not clear which files did what.
+
+For Version 3 of FreeRADIUS, we have moved to a consistent naming
+scheme.  Each module-specific configuration file is placed in this
+directory, in a subdirectory named for the module.  Where necessary,
+files in the subdirectory have been named for the processing section
+where they are used.
+
+For example, the `users` file is now located in
+`mods-config/files/authorize`.  That filename tells us three things:
+
+1. The file is used in the `authorize` section.
+2. The file is used by the `files` module.
+3. It is a "module configuration" file, which is a specific format.
