Hi There I am trying to setup freeradius 1.0.0.5 using mysql and ippools. Basically i want to use mysql to auth the incoming request and and use ippool to assign an adress to that request. Firstly is that possible? I have setup the mysql DB correctly with the radcheck table specifiying the Pool-Name ( in my case im testing with the main_pool as configured in the radiusd.conf. My second probelm is that if i start up radiusd in debug mode it shows the following error? Module: Loaded IPPOOL ippool: session-db = "/home/radius/db.ippool" ippool: ip-index = "/home/radius/db.ipindex" ippool: range-start = 192.168.1.1 IP address [192.168.1.1] ippool: range-stop = 192.168.3.254 IP address [192.168.3.254] ippool: netmask = 255.255.255.0 IP address [255.255.255.0] ippool: cache-size = 800 ippool: override = yes ippool: maximum-timeout = 0 rlm_ippool: Failed to open file /home/radius/db.ippool: Permission denied radiusd.conf[1467]: main_pool: Module instantiation failed. Do i need to create the db files first? If so how is this done? I know this may be arb questions but this is my first time using freeradius :) Thanks Mark Notice This email is intended for the addressee only and may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information.
