control-socket name one character short

3 Oct 2008

      I have installed version 2.1.1 on FreeBSD 7.0 from source obtained at download 
link on www.freeradius.org.  The server "just works"!  Thank you Mr. DeKok 
et. al.

I wanted to try radmin, so I copied control-socket from sites-available to 
sites-enabled. When I started the server I received

# radiusd -X
<snip>
radiusd: #### Opening IP addresses and Ports ####
listen {
        type = "auth"
        ipaddr = *
        port = 0
}
listen {
        type = "acct"
        ipaddr = *
        port = 0
}
listen {
        type = "control"
 listen {
        socket = "/usr/local/var/run/radiusd/radiusd.sock"
 }
Failed setting permissions on /usr/local/var/run/radiusd/radiusd.sock: No such 
file or directory
#
# ls /usr/local/var/run/radiusd
radiusd.soc

The socket was created but the name was missing a character

I tried on a FreeBSD 6.2 box with the same results. Other than not being able 
to enable control-socket, everything else works fine. 

I did try building from the github sources, but received an error:

Judging from the commit times, I believe valuepair.c was in the process of 
being changed and may already be fixed.

When do you sleep Mr. DeKok?
