After removing the rlm_perl directory and rebuilding freeradius (no errors), I am getting: # radius.exe -X ... Module: Library search path is /usr/local/lib radiusd.conf[10] Failed to link to module 'rlm_sql': Permission denied radiusd.conf[1850] Unknown module "sql". radiusd.conf[1779] Failed to parse authorize section. Ok, so it 'sees' the module, but can initialize it due to permissions. But I don't see anything wrong with the permissions (keep in mind this is Cygwin on Windows): Administrator@tempsvr /usr/local/sbin $ ls -l /usr/local/lib/rlm_sql* lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator None 10 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sql-1.1.4.la -> rlm_sql.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 Administrator None 113214 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sql.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 Administrator None 812 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sql.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator None 14 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sql_log-1.1.4.la -> rlm_sql_log.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 Administrator None 38354 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sql_log.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 Administrator None 799 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sql_log.la -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator None 67982 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sql_oracle.a -rwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator None 802 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sql_oracle.la lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administrator None 17 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sqlcounter-1.1.4.la -> rlm_sqlcounter.la -rwxr-xr-x 1 Administrator None 45752 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sqlcounter.a -rwxr-xr-x 1 Administrator None 808 Feb 12 10:09 /usr/local/lib/rlm_sqlcounter.la Administrator@imd-lstempsvr /usr/local/sbin $ id uid=500(Administrator) gid=513(None) groups=0(root),513(None),544(Administrators),545(Users),1003(ORA_DBA) What am I overlooking? Group perhaps? Brian
