RE: preprocess module

10 Jan 2011

      FR is the most difficult "easy" thing ever.  Generally speaking, unless you have a REALLY good understanding of how everything is tied together - don't change ANYTHING you don't absolutely NEED to.  I hear what you're saying about "optimizing" the config and such, but it's really not worth the little overhead unless you're handling many thousands requests per second....

Feel free to play, just expect to do a LOT of playing before you figure it out and expect to break lots of stuff along the way! :)

I removed it because it deals with cases I'll never have...ppp, slip, cslip.  No, it's not doing anything "bad", but it's not doing anything "helpful" either.  You're 100% right, I can just put them back.  Just trying to understand why the config file isn't doing what it's told.

Why did you remove the files? Unless they are doing something "bad", leave
them alone.

It's worth mentioning that if I change "ascend_channels_per_line" to
"32" instead of "23", that change gets recognized.

Subject: preprocess module
Hi all.  Trying to understand and learn freeradius.  For my use, I do
not need the "huntgroups" or "hints" files, so I tried taking them out.
I renamed the files from "huntgroups" to "huntgroups.off", and the same
for hints.  I then edited "module/preprocess" to take out references to
these two files.  However, when I start up radiusd, it appears that
it's STILL looking for the files.  I've gone so far as doing a "grep -
ir huntgroup *", and every line it comes back with is commented out.
Here's the debug and my modules/preprocess file:
--debug start--
server { # from file /usr/local/etc/raddb/radiusd.conf
 modules {
 Module: Checking authenticate {...} for more modules to load
 Module: Checking authorize {...} for more modules to load
 Module: Linked to module rlm_preprocess
 Module: Instantiating module "preprocess" from file
/usr/local/etc/raddb/modules/preprocess
  preprocess {
        huntgroups = "/usr/local/etc/raddb/huntgroups"
        hints = "/usr/local/etc/raddb/hints"
        with_ascend_hack = no
        ascend_channels_per_line = 23
        with_ntdomain_hack = no
        with_specialix_jetstream_hack = no
        with_cisco_vsa_hack = no
        with_alvarion_vsa_hack = no
  }
rlm_preprocess: Error reading /usr/local/etc/raddb/huntgroups
/usr/local/etc/raddb/modules/preprocess[13]: Instantiation failed for
module "preprocess"
/usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default[9]: Failed to load module
"preprocess".
/usr/local/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/default[1]: Errors parsing authorize
section.
--debug end--
--preprocess start--
preprocess {
   with_ascend_hack = no
   ascend_channels_per_line = 23
   with_ntdomain_hack = no
   with_specialix_jetstream_hack = no
   with_cisco_vsa_hack = no
}
--preprocess end--
Anyone have any ideas on where it's getting this configuration from???
Thanks!
