radiusd error AFTER ok

13 Nov 2005

      When I run radiusd from the command line in a Fedora Core 1/RedHat 9 
base system, it will start w/o any problems. However, when I try to 
start radiusd from inside a helper app., it says it is ready to 
process requests but then throws the following error to the 
radius.log file:

Sun Nov 13 22:39:10 2005 : Info: Using deprecated naslist file. 
Support for this will go away soon.
Sun Nov 13 22:39:10 2005 : Info: rlm_exec: Wait=yes but no output 
defined. Did you mean output=none?

The helper script is as follows:

================
This app used to work just fine before my recent HD and MoBo crashes 
today. I had to restore the system from a backup and the app. will no 
longer work. Like I said, radiusd from the command line starts 
FreeRadius just fine. It is only in this app. that it is now causing 
me problems.

Thank you,
