Re: radiusd only starting with radiusd -X, but not as daemon via rc.freeradius

1. i can start radiusd with a valid and working radiusd.config using radiusd -X in this case auth using e.g radtest or other clients is working and stable ..

2. without the -X option and as a "service" via rc.freeradius radiusd will start, but authentication against radius is not sucessful, e.g. using radtest .... ( cannot connect to ... )

Is the server still running?

as far as i understand, difference between both modes is, that without -X radiusd switches over from root to "user" radius after parsing all config files.

Well... try changing that to see if it helps. Alan DeKok.
