Hello all I am not sure if this is the appropriate list or I should be posting this to devel, but I think there is a bug in freeradius. Last week I discovered when running the command /etc/init.d/radiusd reload the radiusd process stoped accepting request, but still ran and nothing is reported in the logs as to an error or a problem. The init script reload option from what I can tell does a SIGHUP of the running radiusd process. After running strace on the process id I attempted to test my radius server by stopping and starting the process and then doing a reload randomly. That seemed to work ok so next test was to stop the process and run it again, but then attempt to authenticate to it a few times. Each authentication request was successful so while the process was running I attempted to run the init script with the reload command and what outputted to my screen was 'Segementation Fault errors'. I haven't had the oppurtunity to dig down and look at what its Seg Faulting on, but wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this problem. My testing was done on the prebuilt rpm package that is supplied by redhat version 1.0.1-2.RHEL4 as well as the stable version of freeradius version 1.0.4. Our radius server in question provides AAA service for VPN, and wireless users. Please let me know if I need to provide any further information. If this is not the appropriate list I apologize -- ****************************************************** Craig T.
