crash, leaving PID file
by Tariq Rashid 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

i'm running a freeradius 1.0.2 as a proxy, with a very simple configuration - no ldap, no sql, only a users file, and some attribnute filters for pre- and post- proxying. strangely i'm finding that about once a day at random times the server is not running, but the PID is left - thus confusing any restart mechanisms. the main log file does not indicate any error. anyone suggest a good why to uncover the problem, short of running it in -X mode and waiting for it to fail. tariq

client configuration via postgres in version 1.0.1
by Joel Bjerk 14 Oct '05

Is it possible to use the nas table for client information instead of clients.conf? I tried uncommenting readclients=yes in sql.conf but the server read the clients from clients.conf. Thanks, Joel

rlm_perl & %RAD_REPLY issue
by Max Lock 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Hi Folks, trying to run version 1.0.4 on Debian sarge.. export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libperl.so.5.8; freeradius -X (to account for known debian weirdness) using rlm_perl like so... sub authorize { $RAD_REPLY{'Max-Total-Octets'} = "xxx6000000"; &log_request_attributes; &log_reply_attributes; &log_check_attributes; return RLM_MODULE_UPDATED; } and getting the following error on STDOUT... rlm_perl: ERROR: Failed to create pair Max-Total-Octets = 6000000 googled around, but can't see anything? other attribs in sql radgroupcheck table are working fine (also using rlm_sql). I took a look at the source code, but I'm not really a coder, and couldn't follow it too easily. However, all I can see is that the following is failing in rlm_perl.c vpp = pairmake(key, val, T_OP_EQ); if (vpp != NULL) { pairadd(vp, vpp); radlog(L_DBG, "rlm_perl: Added pair %s = %s", key, val); return 1; } else { radlog(L_DBG, "rlm_perl: ERROR: Failed to create pair %s = % s", key, val); } can anyone point me in the right direction? just going to try version 1.0.5 in the meantime :) -Thanks Max.

Hi All, I am running freeradius 1.0.5, it seems to start with no errors and listens on the default ports 1812 1813, should I be able to telnet to these ports to check if it accepts connections on them?

Logging question
by Curt LeCaptain 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

Currently I'm using the mysql logging functions of FreeRADIUS and I'm logging two different things: Dial-up customers that log in with just their username (username) DSL Customers that log in with user at domain (username(a)domain.com) I'm wondering, how would I get it so that both log the same way, that is, just username, not the suffix @itol.com. Any advice would be great! Thanks, Curt LeCaptain

Using PAM to authenticate Radius auth requests with PEAP
by Joseph Silverman 14 Oct '05

14 Oct '05

A co-worker of mine here has been asking questions of the list today but I have some of my own. Namely, I don't know much about how Radius does it's magic, but unless I am completely off the bat here, it appears to me that some sort of channel is created between the Radius client and the server over which requests are sent. These requests include a user and a password and other information. The radius server will then compare the user and password to the ones in it's configured database and either authenticate or not. Unix passwords are encrypted through a one-way function and stored in a password file. These passwords can no longer be reversed back to their "clear text" format but it is possible to take a "clear text" user and password (from the radius client) and convert it to this format and compare the two thus matching, or not. I can imagine that PEAP, specifically, does the password encryption on the client and passes that on, using a similar but obviously not the same, one way encryption algorithm, thus requiring the radius server to have access to a clear text password which it would encrypt with the same key and algorithm in order to match to the one from the client. If this is the case, than I can readily see how it can never (never being a long time) be possible to use these sorts of passwords along with UNIX encrypted passwords. This is a darn shame, but if it is indeed the case, so be it. I am asking the list if this is the case or if the reason authentication isn't possible is a simple programming effort that hasn't been done. Also, given our setup: Client: Cisco Wireless AP (1200) Server: Linux running Freeradius What is the optimal means to provide maximum security and still be able to authenticate against the unix shadow password file? Thank you for your time - Yossie
