Hi,
Hm, does this mean that even now when I use rlm_passwd and tacacs passwd file, I need to HUP radiusd whenever someone changes their password? dont HUP the server, restart the process.
But is this for real? I need to restart the server if someone changes their password in the file that is configured with rlm_passwd?
Yes
If so, that's not just a minor annoyance :P
Then use an SQL database. HUP does not work reliably, and cannot be made to, for architectural reasons. However, Alan has recently added code to the CVS HEAD which will reload *certain* portions of the server (just "users" files I believe) safely on HUP. You could possibly contribute (or pay someone to do so) code to do this for rlm_passwd, but to be honest - why bother when SQL is available?
