Hi everyone: I have had an ongoing problem ever since first installing Freeradius over a year ago. I have Freeradius set to start automatically when my Linux server starts. Sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't. The weird thing is that it ALWAYS says that it's [OK] when my system boots whether it starts or not. The only error I have seen is "radius failed to start. subsystem locked". I have Googled this error with no luck. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply and the link Mr.DeKok. I read everything at the link. How is removing the lock/pid files by hand going to help my problem? How will i know when i need to remove them? Like i said before this happens at random. It will look like it's started , but when i go to my services console it gives my the subsystem locked error, but i can start it right up from there without removing anything. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan DeKok" <aland@ox.org> To: "FreeRadius users mailing list" <freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org> Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 12:52 PM Subject: Re: Problem Starting Freeradius

The explanation on the page says that the message you're seeing is caused when those files exist, even though the service isn't running.

I would say it has to be a platform-specific thing, and probably has very little to do with FreeRADIUS. If the scripts used on your platform can't tell if a daemon is running or not, I suggest contacting your vendor, and asking them to fix it. Alan DeKok.
Thank you Mr.DeKok. Will do! :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan DeKok" <aland@ox.org> To: "FreeRadius users mailing list" <freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org> Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 5:30 PM Subject: Re: Problem Starting Freeradius
