Hi all, I'm expiriencing strange behaviour of rlm_perl module causing freeradius be unable to start. Here is the output of `freeradius -X` (running on Debian Sarge i386, freeradius version 1.1.2): # freeradius -X Starting - reading configuration files ... reread_config: reading radiusd.conf Config: including file: /etc/freeradius/proxy.conf Config: including file: /etc/freeradius/clients.conf Config: including file: /etc/freeradius/snmp.conf Config: including file: /etc/freeradius/eap.conf Config: including file: /etc/freeradius/sql.conf main: prefix = "/usr" main: localstatedir = "/var" main: logdir = "/var/log/freeradius" main: libdir = "/usr/lib/freeradius" main: radacctdir = "/var/log/freeradius/radacct" main: hostname_lookups = no main: snmp = no main: max_request_time = 30 main: cleanup_delay = 5 main: max_requests = 1024 main: delete_blocked_requests = 0 main: port = 0 main: allow_core_dumps = no main: log_stripped_names = no main: log_file = "/var/log/freeradius/radius.log" main: log_auth = no main: log_auth_badpass = no main: log_auth_goodpass = no main: pidfile = "/var/run/freeradius/freeradius.pid" main: user = "freerad" main: group = "freerad" main: usercollide = no main: lower_user = "no" main: lower_pass = "no" main: nospace_user = "no" main: nospace_pass = "no" main: checkrad = "/usr/sbin/checkrad" main: proxy_requests = yes proxy: retry_delay = 5 proxy: retry_count = 3 proxy: synchronous = no proxy: default_fallback = yes proxy: dead_time = 120 proxy: post_proxy_authorize = no proxy: wake_all_if_all_dead = no security: max_attributes = 200 security: reject_delay = 1 security: status_server = no main: debug_level = 0 read_config_files: reading dictionary read_config_files: reading naslist Using deprecated naslist file.

If I comment out the "use Data::Dumper;" line, freeradius starts ok, but then it does not send any attributes back to the Cisco AS5300, but only Access-Accept (or Access-Reject). Are there any ideas where could be the problem with loading the Data::Dumper module (since I assume that not sending the attributes back is caused by commenting out the "use Data::Dumper;" line)? Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Nikola Pavkovic
