Hi, when logging to file, logging stops before modules get detached. AFAICS, this happens because the log file name stored in mainconfig.log_file gets free()d before modules get detached. In effect, modules can't log anything to a log file while detaching. A small test case using rlm_perl is: radiusd.conf: ... modules { perl test { module = ${raddbdir}/test.pl } } ... authorize { test } ... test.pl: END { radiusd::radlog(3, 'ENDing...'); } While running in debug mode, the perl END section will happily log its ENDing... line to stdout. When running in daemon mode and logging to file, these lines will never appear in the file. I haven't found a clean solution for this problem but tested a very ugly hack to confirm that logging to file will keep working when mainconfig.log_file isn't free()d: Index: src/main/conffile.c =================================================================== RCS file: /source/radiusd/src/main/conffile.c,v retrieving revision 1.176 diff -u -r1.176 conffile.c --- src/main/conffile.c 4 Jul 2007 05:54:17 -0000 1.176 +++ src/main/conffile.c 10 Aug 2007 09:36:48 -0000 @@ -307,8 +307,10 @@ p = (char **) (((char *)base) + variables[i].offset); } - free(*p); - *p = NULL; + if (*p != mainconfig.log_file) { + free(*p); + *p = NULL; + } } } Has anybody any suggestions for a clean solution?
