If you happen to be using 64bit linux and happen to have free radius 1.1.5 or 1.1.6 there is a known bug in the unix system authentication API. Basically, it doesn't work. But, relax, there is a fix. Please don't report this bug, it's known, and has a solution. the solution is to install version 1.1.7 which fixes this problem. the best way to get 1.1.7 is to use CVS the bug seems isolated to libradius-1.1.5.so library, but it is recommended to use the entire 1.1.7 not replace portions, because that can have unexpected results. Please do not report basic system authentication bugs with 1.1.5/1.1.6 this is known, and has a working solution instead, please install version 1.1.7 either by download or from CVS this was first reported and fixed on Suse Linux 10.3 64bit using kernel 2.6.22.12 _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself with free Messenger emoticons.
