Hello Freeradius Users, I have installed a freeradius server on Centos 7. Now I want to have the freeradius messages forwarded to a external syslog server. Within the radiusd.conf I have changed the "logdir" and "destination" parameter to "syslog" Also added the *.* @IPAddress:514 at the end of the rsyslog.conf file. Restarted both the rsyslog and radiusd service, but then no client will authenticate. I'm getting the following errors: *-- 2018-02-26 08:46:48 Daemon.Debug servername.local Feb 26 08:46:48 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: (0) auth_log: ERROR: Couldn't open file syslog/radacct/192.168.1.7/auth-detail-20180226: Failed to create directory syslog: Permission denied 2018-02-26 08:46:48 Daemon.Notice servername.local Feb 26 08:46:48 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: (0) Invalid user (auth_log: Couldn't open file syslog/radacct/192.168.1.7/auth-detail-20180226: Failed to create directory syslog: Permission denied): [b8386116681f/b8386116681f] (from client SWITCHNAME port 50001 cli B8-38-61-16-68-1F) 2018-02-26 08:46:48 Daemon.Info servername.local Feb 26 08:46:48 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: Need 4 more connections to reach 10 spares 2018-02-26 08:46:48 Daemon.Info servername.local Feb 26 08:46:48 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: rlm_sql (SHBMSQL01): Opening additional connection (6), 1 of 26 pending slots used 2018-02-26 08:46:57 Daemon.Debug servername.local Feb 26 08:46:57 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: (1) auth_log: ERROR: Couldn't open file syslog/radacct/192.168.1.7/auth-detail-20180226: Failed to create directory syslog: Permission denied 2018-02-26 08:46:57 Daemon.Notice servername.local Feb 26 08:46:57 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: (1) Invalid user (auth_log: Couldn't open file syslog/radacct/192.168.1.7/auth-detail-20180226: Failed to create directory syslog: Permission denied): [b8386116681f/b8386116681f] (from client SWITCHNAME port 50001 cli B8-38-61-16-68-1F) 2018-02-26 08:46:57 Daemon.Info servername.local Feb 26 08:46:57 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: Need 3 more connections to reach 10 spares 2018-02-26 08:46:57 Daemon.Info servername.local Feb 26 08:46:57 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: rlm_sql (SHBMSQL01): Opening additional connection (7), 1 of 25 pending slots used 2018-02-26 08:47:13 Daemon.Error servername.local Feb 26 08:47:13 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: Ignoring request to auth address * port 1812 bound to server default from unknown client 192.168.1.192 port 1645 proto udp 2018-02-26 08:47:18 Daemon.Error servername.local Feb 26 08:47:18 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: Ignoring request to auth address * port 1812 bound to server default from unknown client 192.168.1.192 port 1645 proto udp 2018-02-26 08:47:23 Daemon.Error servername.local Feb 26 08:47:23 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: Ignoring request to auth address * port 1812 bound to server default from unknown client 192.168.1.192 port 1645 proto udp 2018-02-26 08:47:28 Daemon.Error servername.local Feb 26 08:47:28 SERVERNAME radiusd[31843]: Ignoring request to auth address * port 1812 bound to server default from unknown client 192.168.1.192 port 1645 proto udp *-- Thank you for your help.
