Hello, I installed Freeradius 3.0.19 on centos 7. Everything is working properly but if I start the service with systemctl start radius the service remain in “activating” status: radiusd.service - FreeRADIUS multi-protocol policy server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/radiusd.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: activating (start) since Thu 2019-05-02 19:52:38 CEST; 31s ago Docs: man:radiusd(8) man:radiusd.conf(5) http://wiki.freeradius.org/ http://networkradius.com/doc/ Process: 6786 ExecStartPre=/bin/chown -R root /usr/local/var/run/radiusd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 6784 ExecStartPre=/usr/local/sbin/radiusd $FREERADIUS_OPTIONS -Cx -lstdout (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 6792 (radiusd) Memory: 8.5M (limit: 2.0G) CGroup: /system.slice/radiusd.service └─6792 /usr/local/sbin/radiusd This is the content of the radiusd.service file: [Unit] Description=FreeRADIUS multi-protocol policy server After=network-online.target Documentation=man:radiusd(8) man:radiusd.conf(5) http://wiki.freeradius.org/ http://networkradius.com/doc/ [Service] Type=notify WatchdogSec=60 NotifyAccess=all PIDFile=/usr/local/var/run/radiusd/radiusd.pid EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/radiusd # FreeRADIUS can do static evaluation of policy language rules based # on environmental variables which is very useful for doing per-host # customization. # Unfortunately systemd does not allow variable substitutions such # as %H or $(hostname) in the EnvironmentFile. # We provide HOSTNAME here for convenience.
