Hello there.
This is probably a stupid question, but how do I run multiple
instances of radiusd on the same machine, listening on different
ports? I have two configuration directories:
/usr/local/etc/raddb
/usr/local/etc/raddb2
which specify ports 1812 and 1813 respectively, so I thought I'd be
able to issue the following commands:
1812 is for authentication and 1813 for accounting. So, if you used the
port configuration in radiusd.conf and set raddb to 1812, it will
automatically use 1813 for accounting.
radiusd -d /usr/local/etc/raddb
radiusd -d /usr/local/etc/raddb2
That is the correct way to do that part.
This doesn't seem to work however, as the second command seems to have
no effect, ie. I see the first radiusd process running but never the
second. Can anyone help please?
Probably because you are trying to set port = 1813 on raddb2, which would
make it listen to 1813 and 1814 - but 1813 is already taken on raddb.
Easiest way to do it is to set raddb with
port = 1812
and raddb2 with
port = 1645
(1645 and 1646 are the old traditional radius ports. Those are pretty
safe to use since a lot of people still run radius on those ports - you'll
probably still see it commented out in /etc/services)
