Hi! It took me a while to figure out that FAQ 6.10: http://wiki.freeradius.org/index.php/FAQ#How_do_I_check_the_configuration_be... is simply no longer true. Checked the source: that option is gone. I really really think that option should be there, though. I know there is a shell script that starts a second server on a different port and waits to see if it starts successfully. But that's also broken since the -p Option doesn't seem to work in all cases: ~> strace -e bind freeradius -X -p 32768 2>&1 | grep port main: port = 1812 listen: port = 0 bind(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1812), <-------------------- sin_addr=inet_addr("130.133.100.66")}, 16) = -1 EADDRINUSE (Address already in use) /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf[228]: Error binding to port for 130.133.100.66:1812 Also, that approach is somewhat ridiculous considered the importance of the radius server in our case. I tried to change the Wiki entry but apparently I don't have permission to do so. Can someone with write access to the Wiki please remove that entry (or better, add the -C option back to freeradius ;) Thanks, Jens. -- Jens Dreger Freie Universitaet Berlin dreger@physik.fu-berlin.de Fachbereich Physik - ZEDV Tel: +49 30 83854774 Arnimallee 14 Fax: +49 30 83855902 14195 Berlin
