I noticed some discussion on this about 3 weeks back. I've just upgraded to FreeRadius 0.5 on a RH 7.0 server. It's working great. I noticed that it puts this in the log when I start it:
Mon Mar 25 12:07:49 2002 : Error: Failed writing process id to file /var/run/radiusd.pid: Permission denied In the radiusd.conf file, I have the user/group for radius to run at as freerad/freerad. If I "touch /var/run/radiusd.pid" and "chown freerad.freerad /var/run/radiusd.pid", FreeRadius will write the pid to the file. But when I stop (or restart) FreeRadius, the pidfile is deleted and then can't be recreated. So it seems FreeRadius is dropping root before it tries to write the pid file. Does this matter? It seems to throw off the RedHat init script a bit, but other than that it seems to not be a problem. I wonder about log rotation later on, or anything other such thing that might bite me later. Any comments? Thanks, - Dan -- - Dan Perik Computer Services Department Lapilo Center New Tribes Mission - PNG - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
