Hi Matt, Alternatively, you can start-up Freeradius by putting the following lines in /etc/rc.d/rc.local: cd /usr/local/freeradius/sbin; ./radiusd -X & (depending on where you installed your Freeradius, that's where I installed mine)
With that, Freeradius starts automatically each time my system reboots. And that way, you don't need to install an extra program. Cheers Matthew >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 10/04/03 12:01AM >>> Yes but how do you tell Daemontools to do this when the Linux box boots up?
