I can reliably reproduce crashing the freeradius 1.1.7
Upgrade to 2.1.3.
daemon on my Ubuntu Dapper box by sending it a dozen or so LDAP auth requests in a short period of time. However, this only happens when freeradius is started with the Ubuntu init script that uses start-stop-daemon. This simply runs:
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile $PIDFILE --exec $PROGRAM
However, if I simply run "freeradius" or "freeradius -X" on the command line, the server doesn't crash.
When I run gdb, I see that freeradius is actually getting a TERM signal.
Has anyone seen this or know what's special about start-stop-daemon that would cause freeradius to exit?
Ask Ubuntu. The 1.1.7 version doesn't handle signals very well. If you need to run a stable version, see 2.1.3. Alan DeKok.
