Hello, I'm using freeradius 1.1.7 on a RHEL4 (built by pkgsrc, though) amd64 box as a logger/relay for accounting packets. Unfortunately, it looks like it's not relaying all the accounting packets it receives, since lines such as these appear in its logs:
Fri Nov 16 17:12:31 2007 : Error: rlm_detail: Failed to aquire filelock for /var/log/radiusd/replicate1.log, giving up Fri Nov 16 17:12:44 2007 : Error: rlm_detail: Failed to aquire filelock for /var/log/radiusd/replicate1.log, giving up Fri Nov 16 17:12:47 2007 : Error: rlm_detail: Failed to aquire filelock for /var/log/radiusd/replicate1.log, giving up Fri Nov 16 17:12:56 2007 : Error: rlm_detail: Failed to aquire filelock for /var/log/radiusd/replicate1.log, giving up Fri Nov 16 17:13:01 2007 : Error: rlm_detail: Failed to aquire filelock for /var/log/radiusd/replicate1.log, giving up Fri Nov 16 17:13:27 2007 : Error: rlm_detail: Failed to aquire filelock for /var/log/radiusd/replicate1.log, giving up Fri Nov 16 17:13:45 2007 : Error: rlm_detail: Failed to aquire filelock for /var/log/radiusd/replicate2.log, giving up Fri Nov 16 17:15:00 2007 : Error: rlm_detail: Failed to aquire filelock for /var/log/radiusd/replicate2.log, giving up Fri Nov 16 17:15:00 2007 : Error: rlm_detail: Failed to aquire filelock for /var/log/radiusd/replicate1.log, giving up Fri Nov 16 17:15:03 2007 : Error: rlm_detail: Failed to aquire filelock for /var/log/radiusd/replicate1.log, giving up Currently I'm trying to replicate the accounting logs to two separate servers using two separate files and two separate instances of radrelay, but as you can see, I appear to be losing some packets. While a majority of the accounting is passing, I'd much prefer all of it to pass. It's logged on the box, but other devices need to use the accounting packets as well. Are there any obvious fixes to resolve the locking contention that appears between radrelay and rlm_detail that causes rlm_detail to give up on logging? I may have missed something, finding radrelay itself was a journey (it's not in the wiki or on the site anywhere and the source distribution's doc/radrelay is pretty old). /var on the box is an ext3 partition, if that makes any difference.
