Re: Signal 10

I have a primary and backup freeradius server running on different machines. For the last couple days they have both been receiving a signal 10 at almost the same time.

Signal 10 is SIGBUS: Bus error. It's usually indicative of bad memory.

I suspect its a request from somewhere. I am going to enable tcpdump on the secondary server but am at a loss to figure out how to get a core dump. I don't see any place in the code where signal 10 is redirected. Any other ideas on how to diagnose this problem? Thanks.

Use tcpdump to see what packet is causing the problem. If you're running a version prior to 1.0.5, then upgrade. See http://www.freeradius.org/security.html for more information. Alan DeKok.
