detail logging not logging?

16 Jan 2009

      Hi all.

I seem to be missing something somewhere.  I'm new to freeradius but I
managed to get a system up and running.
Here's a copy of my stripped down radiusd.conf.  I'm only doing accounting
right now so no auth stuff.   I know radius itself is working because I can
change the secret in the client.conf and I get the errors in the radius.log
when the client sends.

The issue I'm having now though is that I can't seem to get the detail
logging to work so the only time I get any logs is if I purposefully foul
something up to cause it to error.  Right now I have the detail statement at
the bottom of the file.  I've tried moving it into the modules section but
that didn't make any different.  I also tried manually specifying the fully
qualified path for the log file as well to no avail.

I verified user and group permissions in the necessary directories, but I
must still be missing something.  Anyone able to point out what's wrong but
right under my nose?

Also it's worth noting this is running on Solaris10x86 under a zone.
