Alan,<br><br>Yes thanks for the reply you are correct it probably should go into the RPM I can rewrite the RHEL rpm to do this if I knew what to do? When I simply run radiusd -X the keys are created is there a "non interactive" option I can use to create the keys for the first time such as radiusd --create-keys (obviously that isn't it)... <br>
<br>Or is there another way to create the keys? <br><br>Brian Carpio<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 5, 2010 at 1:16 PM, Alan Buxey <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk">A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div class="im">> I am running RHEL 5.3 and FreeRADIUS Version 2.1.8.<br>

> When I install freeradius and attempt to start it for the first time using the /etc/init.d/radiusd start script it always fails (only right after freeradius is installed), once i run freeradius with -X (in debug mode) it creates all the keys and such then I can cntrl + c and start free radius from that point forward using the init script... my question is why do I have to do this? Is there anyway around this?<br>
<br>
</div>probably because when run from the init script it cannot actually start the<br>
daemon (due to requirements to create the key etc). if everything is in place<br>
correctly beforehand then it will work.<br>
<br>
I guess the question , then, is - can the RPM do the required creation of<br>
example/test keys etc rather than require the admin to jump through the<br>
hoops - and thats a question for the distro maintainers.<br>
