Re: Change of logging behaviour in 2.1.9

Since the update to 2.1.9 a new log file is _only_ opened on HUP. Is this behaviour intended?

Yes. It's the way most daemons work.

Is the only possibility to reopen the log file now to send HUP to the server? I don't feel very comfortable with this. The server reloads the config, modules and whatnot. I think this is not something that one wants to do in a daily, unattended process. Isn't there any other, less intrusive method to tell freeradius to reopen the log file? (besides a restart, of course)
