Hi,
I have posted a patch for pre3 to address some issues under Mac OS X:
http://homepage.mac.com/andreaswolf/public/freeradius-ssl-1.0.0-
pre3.patch
It includes the following changes:
The sem_ API's (semaphore.h) are not supported on OS X. The patch
replaces them by the MP* (Multiprocessing) API. This allows radiusd to
run deamonized under OS X. It uses a pre-processor Macro (MAC_OS_X) to
switch between sem_* and MP*. I could not figure out how to set this
less 'intrusively', e.g. in the configure script. I am sure it will be
very easy for freeRadius developers to incorporate that.
A symbol conflict with CoreServices was resolved (T_INVALID already
defined). The CoreServices framework is required for the MP* APIs.
Since on MAC OS X the getpw* API does not reveal the crypt'ed passwords
whatsoever, the rlm_unix module was tuned to use the DirectoryServices
API. This will cause the rlm_unix module to call directly into OS X's
ds* APIs to do the authentication when the getpw* APIs don't work. This
could've been solved with a separate module (which I had originally)
but I wanted minimal impact on the configuration.
