I strongly suspect its a Fedora problem, not a Freeradius problem. (Or else I made a boo-boo configuring the OS) Alan DeKok replied to matthew zeier:
Let me clear: I cannot reproduce this problem here. No one else has seen the same problem.
May or may not be relevant, but I've got two supposedly identical Fedora 6 machines, one gets a similar error, the other doesn't!. Both upgraded with yum to current level, followed by manual install and configure of Freeradius 1.1.5 - I cut and pasted the commands from one machine to the other and I FTPed the files including ones I modified. (And the one it works on is the SECOND one I installed, so its not a failure to copy correctly!) I think there must be some difference in my /usr/local/lib/libltdl.so.3.1.4 - they are slightly different sizes. I have no idea why, I used the same commands to install both systems. I will compare them. Just in case it means anything to anyone I attach the command output, but as I said my guess is its a Fedora problem [root@ficus raddb]# radiusd -v radiusd: FreeRADIUS Version 1.1.5, for host i686-pc-linux-gnu, built on Mar 9 2007 at 13:16:16 Copyright (C) 2000-2006 The FreeRADIUS server project.
