Package: freeradius Version: 2.1.12+dfsg-1.2 Severity: important Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer, I just spent a few minutes looking at an issue we've been having with a debian- based FreeRADIUS server we're running. After some closer investigation, it turned out that the weekly logrotate was causing the mschap modules to fail in FreeRADIUS. This effectively breaks authentication for us, as the mschap modules are what we rely on to make the wireless 802.1x authentication work. Digging deeper, I found this mailing list post on lists.freeradius.org (http://lists.freeradius.org/pipermail/freeradius-users/2012-April/060090.html) which details the issue exactly. Alan DeKok appears to have fixed this in the source tree as of 2012-04-13, however, the fix hasn't made it into Debian (squeeze or wheezy). Could you please consider either making the logrotate command restart freeradius, not kill -HUP it, or bring commit d3504e1766ae965c2983f6ea4c8aa17bb840f4a4 in as a patch? Link to commit in original source is: https://github.com/FreeRADIUS/freeradius- server/commit/d3504e1766ae965c2983f6ea4c8aa17bb840f4a4 Either of this will fix - and I don't know which one you'd prefer to take. As it stands, I'm adding a cron job to restart FreeRADIUS at 06:40 each Sunday morning to ensure it comes back up again after a logrotate. Thanks in advance.
