Just tried to build current master branch under OSX: ./configure -with-redis-include-dir=/usr/local/include/hiredis --enable-boilermake --prefix=/Users/brian/Build/freeradius-master && make && make install (Note: This is from a git checkout where I had switched branches, but I have done a "make distclean" first) Then I symlinked ../mods-available/redis and rediswho into mods-enabled/. That's the only config change I made. Started it with sbin/radiusd -X (as unpriviledged user), send a radclient packet like this: echo -e "User-Name = brian\nFramed-IP-Address = 1.2.3.4\nAcct-Status-Type = Start\n" | bin/radclient localhost acct testing123 and this is what happened: rad_recv: Accounting-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 54630, id=248, length=39 User-Name = "brian" Framed-IP-Address = 1.2.3.4 Acct-Status-Type = Start (0) # Executing section preacct from file /Users/brian/Build/freeradius-master/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default (0) group preacct { (0) - entering group preacct {...} (0) [preprocess] = ok (0) policy acct_unique { (0) - entering policy acct_unique {...} (0) ? if ("%{string:Class}" =~ /ai:([0-9a-f]{32})/i) (0) expand: '%{string:Class}' -> '' Segmentation fault: 11 Oops. But annoyingly, running it again under gdb it was fine: gdb sbin/radiusd run -X ... rad_recv: Accounting-Request packet from host 127.0.0.1 port 62354, id=3, length=39 User-Name = "brian" Framed-IP-Address = 1.2.3.4 Acct-Status-Type = Start (0) # Executing section preacct from file /Users/brian/Build/freeradius-master/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default (0) group preacct { (0) - entering group preacct {...} (0) [preprocess] = ok (0) policy acct_unique { (0) - entering policy acct_unique {...} (0) ? if ("%{string:Class}" =~ /ai:([0-9a-f]{32})/i) (0) expand: '%{string:Class}' -> '' (0) ?

Waking up in 0.3 seconds. (0) Cleaning up request packet ID 3 with timestamp +41 Ready to process requests. Running again without gdb, it still crashes. So next thing is to try to get a core dump: (configure: allow_core_dumps = yes in radiusd.conf) (check /cores directory is writeable) ulimit -c unlimited sbin/radiusd -X Crashes but no dump :-( Suspiciously, the message "Core dumps are enabled." does not appear on the console output. I'll keep poking around, but if someone knows why the core dumps aren't being created, that would save me some time. Cheers, Brian.
