Hi
there,
I've succesfully
installed (from the ports collection) FreeRadius (1.0.4) using Secure LDAP to
Active Directory (horray!) - however, I can't seem to get it to log
authentication attempts (much less anything) to syslog, this is my final
stumbling block, and I really need some help here.
I've spent hours
scouring the mailing lists seeing many people with similar problems, and I've
tried many of the supposed solutions without success. There seems to be some
mention that information was included in the documentation at some point,
however I've download the latest source code and grep'ed the documentation for
anything containing 'syslog' and turned up empty (even browsed seemingly
relevant docs manually).
My syslogging is
syslog-ng and works fine logging for several network devices. Syslog
is installed on the same machine as freeradius. The source code seem to indicate
syslogging is compiled / enabled by default - so presumably the port includes
this as I see no options 'disabling' it.
Things I've tried,
with no success include:
* >From the radiusd
help, I've included command line options.
-l
log_dir Log messages to 'log_dir'. Special
values
are:
stdout == log all messages to standard output.
syslog == log all messages to the system logger.
stdout == log all messages to standard output.
syslog == log all messages to the system logger.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] radiusd -l
syslog
* Edit the
radiusd.conf file to include:
log_destination =
syslog
log {
syslog_facility = daemon
}
log {
syslog_facility = daemon
}
* Edit the
radiusd.conf file to include (which results in radiusd: Couldn't open
syslog/radius.log for logging: No such file or directory - fairly obvious its
not doing interpretting this differently)
logdir =
syslog
Has anyone got
this working succesfully? With this version of FreeRadius? How did you do it?
Does anyone know troubleshooting methods I can use (radiusd -X will not log to
syslog since its redirecting to stdout).
Any answers
or suggestions would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan
