Hello,
I'm running FreeRadius 2.2.0 and am looking for advice on resolving a permissions issue I am running into with a third-party pam module.
As far as freeradius goes, I have it configured how I would like - radius authentication is being checked against PAM as I intended. The problem is that this pam module I am running currently requires root permissions but I would prefer to keep radiusd running as a restricted user. I've confirmed I can get around the issue by specifying radiusd to run as root but this is not desired.
So my question - what would be the best way to run the freeradius pam sub-routine as root but keep the rest of the freeradius system runnning as my restricted user? I'm trying to avoid editing source code if I can help it. I realize this is not strictly related to freeradius but figured there may be a freeradius setting I'm not familiar here.
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about... how would the user FreeRADIUS is running as have any affect on the pam module? Arran Cudbard-Bell <a.cudbardb@freeradius.org> FreeRADIUS Development Team FD31 3077 42EC 7FCD 32FE 5EE2 56CF 27F9 30A8 CAA2
