Hi,
In the meantime, I managed to make a new mess. I accidentally ran radiusd without the -X option and couldn't figure out how to "properly" stop it so I just killed the process. Now when I run radiusd -X, it claims to be listening on 1812 and 1813, but nmap says it isn't and I can't get a telnet connection off either port. My firewall config hasn't changed, but just for good measure I turned iptables off completely and still get the same results... Anyone seen this particular mistake before?
Nmap? Why scan ports when you can simply eg 'netstat -an | grep 1812' Anyway, 'killall radiusd' should do the trick nicely (well, nastily actually) - or any other variants of process management - people may prefer The pidof method etc. Than you can restart the daemon Alan No virus found in this outgoing message.
