I found out why. freeradius is running as uid 'freeradius', so it cannot create files under /var/log. and the Unix module bombed because of that, and therefore no ack. The debug log was indeed the key :) Thanks, -npy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan DeKok" <aland@deployingradius.com> To: "FreeRadius users mailing list" <freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org> Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2008 2:04 PM Subject: Re: Turning on sql in accounting - 2 questions

I found out why. NAS is sending the Accounting Request packet 3 times to the radius server because the radius server is not acknowledging, even though it receives the packets.
So... read the debug log to see why.
Is there any config that I miss out that causes freeradius not to ack?
The debug log shows why it's not acking.
#Firewall is not a problem; I have turned it off.
Please advise.
Read the debug log.
When we say read it, we mean READ IT. A very large number of problems on this list can be solved simply by reading the debug log.
Yes, there is a lot of output. But it's not hard to scan it for things like "failed" or "warning' or "error".
