Listen port problem

15 May 2008

      Hello,

I have a strange problem since I updated my freeradius from 1.x to 2.x, 
from a simple rpm update. It binds to random ports !

Here is the dump of radiusd -X :

------------------------------------

I don't really understand why it does that. I checked if there wasn't 
any other program that would have listened on 1812 before radius.

Do you have an idea ?

    Thanks in advance,

       Hoggins!
