Hi this is where the error is occurring in UMR & ABR in the following files, While running with purify. Command-line: radiusd -X UMR: Uninitialized memory read (3 times) This is occurring while in: memcmp [rtlib.o] cf_expand_variables [conffile.c:369] p += strlen(p); ptr = end + 1; => } else if (memcmp(ptr, "$ENV{", 5) == 0) { char *env; ptr += 5; cf_section_read [conffile.c:785] /* * Handle variable substitution via ${foo} */ => value = cf_expand_variables(cf, lineno, cs, buf, buf3); if (!value) { cf_section_free(&cs); return NULL; conf_read [conffile.c:834] return NULL; } => if(parent) { cs = cf_section_read(conffile, &lineno, fp, NULL, NULL, parent); } else { cs = cf_section_read(conffile, &lineno, fp, NULL, NULL, NULL); read_radius_conf_file [mainconfig.c:1145] radlog(L_ERR|L_CONS, "radius_dir : %s",radius_dir); if ((cs = conf_read(NULL, 0, buffer, NULL)) == NULL) { => return NULL; } /* read_mainconfig [mainconfig.c:1190] /* First read radiusd.conf */ DEBUG2("reread_config: reading radiusd.conf"); if ((cs = read_radius_conf_file()) == NULL) { => if (debug_flag || (radlog_dir == NULL)) { radlog(L_ERR|L_CONS, "Errors reading radiusd.conf"); } else { Reading 5 bytes from 0xffbe51d0 on the stack (1 byte at 0xffbe51d4 uninit).
