Re: Error: Failed reading DHCP socket: No child processes

...

Any hints or clues to what might be causing it or what to check/ configure?

Do you have selinux enabled?

The standard RHEL policies will block various things that FreeRADIUS legitimately can do.

Thank you for the hint, but selinux is not enabled. We will try to upgrade to 3.2.8 to see whether it helps. -- Ludo
