Hello jck,
I don't know what the proper permissions are, however
My problem is not permissions related. I am trying to install FreeRADIUS so that it references /etc/raddb, and writes to /var/log/radius. Instead, I receive the following upon startup: radiusd: Couldn't open /usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log for logging: Permission denied Granted, this is a permissions error. Please note, I am not worried about the permission error. Instead, I am worried about radiusd trying to reference: /usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log when it should be referring to: /var/log/radius/radius.log I still require assistance with this matter!

I am running freeradius-1.0.4 from source, on SLES 9.0. I want to install freeradius so that it uses /etc and /var, and not /usr/local/etc and /usr/local/var.
If I do:
/usr/local/src/freeradius-1.0.4 # make clean && make distclean
/usr/local/src/freeradius-1.0.4 # ./configure --disable-shared --without-rlm_x99_token --prefix=/ --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc --exec-prefix=/ --bindir=/usr/local --sbin=/usr/local --libexec=/usr/local --datadir=/usr/local --libdir=/usr/local --includedir=/usr/local --oldincludedir=/usr/local --infodir=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local && make
Why do I receive this error message:
/usr/local/src/freeradius-1.0.4 # src/main/radiusd Fri Jul 8 15:49:43 2005 : Info: Starting - reading configuration files ... radiusd: Couldn't open /usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log for logging: Permission denied (rlm_exec: Wait=yes but no output defined. Did you mean output=none?) It looks like to me you have to chmod 644 /usr/local/var/log/radius/ <- this dir then also make sure it is creating the proper log file -> radius.log Maybe one of these othere gurus know better what to tell you .... I ran into that problem as well a week ago I think.
There should be no reference to:
Couldn't open /usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log
Full logs of configure and make are viewable at: http://www.southwestern.edu/~johnk/freeradius_build_logs.txt
Additionaly, why isn't there a Makefile method for deinstallation?

The locations of the files and directories used by the server are defined in radiusd.conf. $ vi /etc/raddb/radiusd.conf /logdir <edit> :wq Alan DeKok.
Yup Alan is right and that is where I fixed it, Thanks Alan Michael A Cooper BCCISP.net http://www.bccisp.net 281-854-2079 "Technology that counts, voices that matter!" ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan DeKok" <aland@ox.org> To: "FreeRadius users mailing list" <freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org> Sent: Friday, July 08, 2005 6:42 PM Subject: Re: Problems with installing to /etc and /var
