Is there a configuration option that will allow me to put a client IP in the clients file without the client actually existing yet? It seems when radius starts, if a client doesn't exist the daemon dies.

Huh? It does that only if you put a hostname in, and the hostname isn't resolvable to an IP address.

The answer is to use IP addresses in the clients.conf file. Since IP addresses always exist, the serbver will always start.

Or if you really feel you must have a domain name in there, add it to your local /etc/hosts file until it is added to DNS. -- Dennis Skinner Systems Administrator BlueFrog Internet http://www.bluefrog.com
