That's good to know. And not something I need to do anymore, because of your advice I checked out the EXEC module, and that is working great. YAAY!! Now I just have It executing a script that dumps the attributes into stdout, from a python script, its perfect, thanks for the direction. --Jester -----Original Message----- From: freeradius-users-bounces+jpurtteman=columbus.rr.com@lists.freeradius.org [mailto:freeradius-users-bounces+jpurtteman=columbus.rr.com@lists.freeradius .org] On Behalf Of Mike O'Connor Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2008 9:36 PM To: FreeRadius users mailing list Subject: Re: Freeradius 2.04 + python + mysqldb python module on Debian 4.0 Hi Jester A few things. 1. I've never been able to get python to work correct on a debian system, this is for both Sarge and Etch. We currently have to use Centos 5 for our proxy radius systems which use python. 2. I do not believe that loading a mysql connection each time you recived a radius packet is going to be a good idea. I would instead create a very small shim which calls a python daemon via a unix socket. Cheers Mike jpurtteman@columbus.rr.com wrote:
From the subject, you can probably guess that its just barely a Freeradius problem :) Anyway...
Using the Build (http://wiki.freeradius.org/Build) instructions for Debian, i have compiled FreeRADIUS with python support. I copied the example module configuration for python out of experimental.conf. using the provided test script, the server runs fine. and any other simple script works until i try to import MySQLdb for python. However, when you try to "import MySQLdb", it blows it stops, and throws the following:
<type 'exceptions.ImportError'>: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/_mysql.so: undefined symbol: PyExc_ImportError Failed to import python module "pyrad_auth" /etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf[608]: Instantiation failed for module "python" Errors initializing modules
Which, i think, means that it can't load the mysql module for some reason, and i don't know much else. from the command prompt, i can execute the .py script that i am using. In fact, it is the same script that works on a SuSE 10.1 server that i have, so i think the script is not likely to be the problem.
Any pointers/hints/need more info? Much appreciated.
