Hi all: Still havening some issues running free radius on Ubuntu. root@XXXXXXX:/sbin# free radius -v free radius: free radius Version 1.0.2, for host , built on Aug 6 2006 at 20:11:24 Copyright (C) 2000-2003 The free radius server project. Now I understand that I have to do the following to get the pid to fire correctly as root mkdir /var/run/freeradius chown freerad freerad /var/run/freeradius when I do that it fires up correctly and waits for connections. One issue is that power where I am us spotty at best and power loss happen frequently and I loose the /var/run/freeradius/ directory at reboot. I know that /var/run is on a ram drive so I set it to be permanently mounted (cheated and used webmin for that). Why does the /var/run/freeradius directory disapear after a reboot? Am I missing something here? Am I writing to the right group is this a Freeradius issue or and Ubuntu issue, and if it is a ubuntu issue should I be running under another O/S ? Any and all help and comments is appreciated. Cameron
