Hello all, Up until now, users wishing to run Radiator as a Service on Windows were required to install and configure a Service program such as SRVANY or FireDaemon.
We have recently uploaded patches to the Radiator 3.5 patches area that allow Radiator to install and run itself as a Windows Service. This has also involved some restructuring of some of the internals of radiusd. These patches will appear in the next release of Radiator but in the meantime we would welcome any comments on its use. Now, on Windows, radiusd supports some new command line arguments: -service Tells Radiator to run as a Windows Service. Requires Win32::Daemon, and requires that the service have been previously installed with the -installservice flag. Requires Win32::Daemon. -installservice On Windows, installs or reinstalls Radiator to run as a Windows Service. The service will be configured to run Radiator with all the same arguments as was passed with -installservice, and it will add the -service flag. After this, the Radiator service will appear in the Windows Service list as `Radiator Radius Server'. The Service will automatically start next time the host is booted. Requires Win32::Daemon. -uninstallservice On Windows, removes Radiator from Running as a Windows Service. Ensure the service is stopped before uninstalling it. Requires Win32::Daemon. Win32::Daemon can be installed on Windows with: ppm install http://www.roth.net/perl/packages/win32-daemon.ppd None of these changes are expected to effect the ability to run Radiator as a service under SRVANY or FireDaemon, or as a daemon on Unix. Furthermore, on Windows, the command perl Makefile.PL install now also creates a folder C:\Program Files\Radiator and installs sample configuration, users and dictionary files (if they are not already there). This is expected to improve the installation process for Windows users. Test and comments direct to me are welcome. Cheers. -- Mike McCauley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Open System Consultants Pty.
