Problem: When I run freeradius in debugging mode (-X switch) it will not terminate with a ctrl-C, in fact, when I run it as a service, the init.d script fails to kill it as well, it has to be manually slaughtered using kill -9 <number> and only then can be restarted. I am curious if this is some aspect of trying to tie python into radius, or if I’ve done something terribly wrong ;)
That sounds familiar. I think the python code libraries had "good reasons" for doing that. But it's still not nice.
My curiosity is, as a workaround to other problems I had with the python modules, I finally just wrote python scripts and put them into the freeradius library, and I call them using the ‘exec’ module instead, and that works pretty good. Is there some benefit to running python as a module instead of using the exec module?
It's less CPU intensive, and may be faster. But if the "exec" solution works... Alan DeKok.
