In FreeRADIUS 2.x, the radrelay functions have been built into radiusd.
That's the intention.
However, I seem to be having problems with data loss. Everything works fine when the remote accounting server is up. However, when it goes down, here is what I am seeing. ... 4) Here is where is gets confusing. It almost seems like radiusd goes into some sort of loop. After a short period (less than a minute), all of the files are deleted from the "listen" directory and radiusd goes into a hyper polling mode (see the bottom of the attached debug file). This is very different from the normal polling mode which occurs at appoximatly 1 second intervals.
There have been other reports of the same thing. Unfortunately, I've been unable to reproduce this locally. That makes it difficult to find the issue, and to fix it.
All this does not seem to crash the server, however, the accounting data does appear to be lost which is my greatest concern in this e-mail.
If anyone sees any problems with my configuration or needs any further information, please let me know. I am currently using FreeRADIUS 2.1.4.
I'll do some more tests before I release the next version of the server. Alan DeKok.
