Re: Freeradius start at boot
radiusd is already running on that port. When checking /etc/rc.d/rc3.d I found a file named "S88radiusd". I thought that the "Address already in use" error was supposed to happen if trying to start a second instance of the same service? -- Paul Blalock

It is the same service. You need to educate yourself on how System V initscripts work. This really isn't a topic for this list, it's basic system administration. Google "System V initscripts" you should find a wealth of information. I hope you didn't mess with any of the links under /etc/rc* These are managed by chkconfig. -- John Dennis <jdennis@redhat.com> Looking to carve out IT costs? www.redhat.com/carveoutcosts/

Cistron radius?

No, most radius servers use same ports. You are starting cistron first, so freeradius fails to start after it. Either remove cistron or change listening ports in freeradius radiusd.conf. Ivan Kalik Kalik Informatika ISP

No, S88radiusd is not Cistron. It's the link created by chkconfig to start radiusd at boot time. rc3.d comprises service commands for run level 3, the S prefix means it's a "Start" command, the 88 is an ordering number, things lower than 88 start before radiusd, thing higher than 88 start after radiusd. (BTW, this basic logic is being replaced by other mechanisms defined by LSB which allow greater control over prequisites, e.g. MySQL has to be up and running first, etc). But ... this is really not a FreeRADIUS issue, it's an OS and system administration issue. I think we've beat this one to death enough :-) -- John Dennis <jdennis@redhat.com> Looking to carve out IT costs? www.redhat.com/carveoutcosts/
