Hi,
Alen,
you know my name - i dont mispell it in my emails :-(
As other explained, when the port is set to 0, the daemon will take any port dynamically. However, thanks to Tim, he cleared out my confusion, and I see clearly the ports are in fact 1812 and 1813.
udp 0 0 *:radius *:* udp 0 0 *:radius-acct *:*
there should be no confusion - netstat clearly describes what each column is and what is represents
So after all, it's not selecting random port numbers. Is this a bug?
it NEVER selects a random port - i dont know where you are getting this crazy idea from about dynamic random port if port = 0 please read the few lines above that option, ie # Port on which to listen. # Allowed values are: # integer port number (1812) # 0 means "use /etc/services for the proper port" port = 0 which bit of "0 means "use /etc/services for the proper port"" is not clear? if you've put some crazy value into /etc/services then that'd be your problem alan
