Hi All,
This is very frustating for us. We are running radiusd (through
radwatch) with user radius and group radius. Since radiusd must
be able to read the shadow file, we have created a new user
radius and group radius, and have manually changed the
permissions of shadow file which looks as follows:
-rw-r----- 1 root radius
But what is happening, yesterday at 4:23PM, and today at 11:33AM
the permissions were snatched away, making streams of invalid
logins and beeping our beepers from a team of unhappy users. The
file permissions goes back to original state, that is:
-rw------- 1 root root
We have checked everything (we think), crontab etc, but nothing
can be found. Please help us.
We have even tried chaging permission from linuxconf (fools, but
you should have seen our frustated faces), only to get the same
result.
We are running freeradius 0.4 (Reply-Message does not seem to
work in 0.5, but that is another issue) in RedHat 7.1.
Thanks in advance, and please, we do not want to run radiusd as
root, that is a security issue, is not it?
