Re: Reading conf from module_init

I'm coding a new module for freeradius and would like to read the configuration from module_init instead of from module_instantiate.

Why?

So, I start with this prototypes:

static int example_init(void); static int example_instantiate(CONF_SECTION *conf, void **instance);

I saw inside example_instatiate that the CONF_SECTION pointer is passed to cf_section_parse and here are my two questions:

1. What's that *conf that _instantiate receives?

The configuration it expects to be able to parse. See the example...

2. How can I read the configuration in _init?

You can't. See the other modules: they don't use "init". It's been removed in version 2.0. Alan Dekok.
