Re: monitoring freeradius with nagios

All, When trying to use the "radauth" tool from nagios to monitor freeradius, I get the following in the freeradius log:

Error: WARNING: Malformed RADIUS packet from host ... too long (length 18432 > maximum 4096)

radtest seems to be ok. has anyone else experienced this or knows what is wrong?

I haven't seen it. I note that 18432 is hex 0x7200. I suspect that the NAGIOS people missed a 'htons()' somewhere, and the field should be 0x0072. Alan DeKok. -- http://deployingradius.com - The web site of the book http://deployingradius.com/blog/ - The blog
