Hi Andrey.

Edit your radiusd.conf and uncomment:
#user = nobody
#group = nobody

done that.

You can manually add new users the radius will run as. Propaly the easiest way is to run vipw and copy line from some other service, change the uid, gid and the username, edit /etc/group and put there your group as well.

have that.

Something like this should do on FreeBSD:
radiusd:*:101:101::0:0:Radius Daemon:/var/log/radius:/usr/sbin/nologin

Or Linux
radiusd:x:101:101:Radius Daemon:/var/log/radius:/bin/false

and in /etc/group
radiusd:*:101:

chown -R radiusd:radiusd your log file and propaly the config files

chowned the log and config files.

Then it should look something like:

#ps auxww | grep rad
radiusd 81708 0.0 1.0 9316 4944 ?? Ss 11:26PM 0:00.01 /usr/local/sbin/radiusd

Cheers,
Marcin


RESULT: It looks like it's working, but it doesn't authenticate anybody. It
doesn't necessarily give an Access-Reject, but it also doesn't let anyone stay
online. Lets users log in and then kicks them off 15 seconds later. Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question about running radiusd as a user other than root. Do I need to compile the server as that user? And do I need to do anything else other than
uncomment the lines in radius.conf?

Is there a help/doc file about this?

Thanks a bunch.

Andrey
