Thanks for the thoughts on this...it looks like the permissions on those directories are all good: # ls -al /var/log/radius/ total 10 drwx------ 3 radiusd radiusd 128 Mar 12 14:54 . drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 1552 Mar 17 11:36 .. drwx------ 2 radiusd radiusd 48 Apr 23 2008 radacct -rw-r--r-- 1 radiusd radiusd 5150 Mar 17 11:51 radius.log -rw-r--r-- 1 radiusd radiusd 0 Apr 23 2008 radutmp # ls -al /tmp drwxrwxrwt 9 root root 616 Mar 18 08:54 . # ls -al /etc/raddb/ total 208 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 664 Mar 12 16:11 . drwxr-xr-x 83 root root 7072 Mar 17 11:33 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root radiusd 422 Apr 23 2008 acct_users -rw-r--r-- 1 root radiusd 4074 Apr 23 2008 attrs drwxr-x--- 3 root radiusd 472 Mar 12 14:41 certs -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 2937 Apr 23 2008 clients.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root radiusd 929 Apr 23 2008 dictionary -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 9332 Apr 23 2008 eap.conf -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 4620 Apr 23 2008 example.pl -rw-r--r-- 1 root radiusd 2396 Apr 23 2008 hints -rw-r--r-- 1 root radiusd 1604 Apr 23 2008 huntgroups -rw-r--r-- 1 root radiusd 2333 Apr 23 2008 ldap.attrmap -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 9330 Apr 23 2008 mssql.conf -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 856 Apr 23 2008 naspasswd -rw-r--r-- 1 root radiusd 7316 Apr 23 2008 otp.conf -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 1396 Apr 23 2008 otppasswd.sample -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 14467 Apr 23 2008 postgresql.conf -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 1039 Apr 23 2008 preproxy_users -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 8834 Apr 23 2008 proxy.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root radiusd 64646 Mar 12 16:06 radiusd.conf -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 1405 Apr 23 2008 snmp.conf -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 14173 Apr 23 2008 sql.conf -rw-r----- 1 root radiusd 6974 Mar 12 14:54 users So, unless there's another location that the radiusd user needs access to? I've verified that the service is definitely running as radiusd. I also looked up the possibility of the selinux protection and it's not set up at all on this system. Other thoughts? I'm stumped on this one. Thanks, Greg A.L.M.Buxey@lboro.ac.uk wrote:
Hi,
when run in debug, it runs with greater privs - check your eg /var/log/radius directory, your used tmp directories, /etc/raddb etc for their permissions - does the user/group you have defined in radiusd.conf have relevant read/write permissions
other common issue is eg selinux daemon/service protection
