Hello all, My other email to the list from last week appears to have disappeared into the ether...probably too big with the whole config file. Hopefull someone can offer advice on this issue. If I start up radiusd (on SuSE/OES linux, install from Yast) with the standard script in init.d it doesn't open up the port or authenticate. However, if I add the debug parameter (-x) to that same script, it works just fine. For example, if I change this line in /etc/init.d/radiusd ... startproc $RADIUSD_BIN > /var/log/radius/radius.log ... to this ... startproc $RADIUSD_BIN -x > /var/log/radius/radius.log ... it authenticates beautifully. Googling around it looks like I'm not the only one with this problem, but the only solution seems to be a manual recompile. Help? Thanks in advance!
