Hi Ted,

We are using VMWare ESXi on our hypervisors. There's no need to run a host OS and it's easy to set up. We haven't encountered any problems to speak of. The guest OS that the radius servers run is CentOS.

Cheers,
Jonathan

Jonathan,
 
I'm actually planning to roll out RADIUS on a virtualization platform too, probably Xen.  Could you share what VM platform you're using?  Thanks!

whoa. thats completely different to what the current server does,
virtual or not. what details do you want to syslog?


  
For a start I want to syslog the stuff that usually goes into radius.log - so the messages when the server starts (which are already being syslogged successfully) and the summary line (Auth: Login OK) printed after an authentication (which are currently not being sent to syslog).

I also want to syslog the stuff that normally gets filed away under /var/log/radius/radacct - so details of radius packets for debugging.

The reason for wanting to send everything to a log host on the network is that the new generation of radius servers we are preparing are all virtualised and only have a few GB of disk - so no room for logs.

Cheers,
Jonathan
