Hello, We are running freeradius 3.0.4 on CentOS 7. We noticed that the radmin command was showing no stats for our home servers. That is they showed '0' for the requests, responses, etc. For example: ===================== radmin -e 'stats home_server auth' requests 0 responses 0 accepts 0 rejects 0 challenges 0 dup 0 invalid 0 malformed 0 bad_authenticator 0 dropped 0 unknown_types 0 timeouts 1909 last_packet 1485533480 elapsed.1us 0 elapsed.10us 0 elapsed.100us 0 elapsed.1ms 0 elapsed.10ms 0 elapsed.100ms 0 elapsed.1s 0 elapsed.10s 0 ===================== The server is relatively busy, so there should certainly be some stats. It has not been rebooted recently - which I assume would zero the stats. Anyone any suggestions about this?

Thanks for that. However, it is the CentOS supplied package we are using: freeradius-3.0.4-6.el7.x86_64. I'll see if it's been reported as a bug to them.

They won't care, either. If you want a fix, it's almost definitely in v3.0.x. It takes about 15 minutes to build an RPM. Which is a whole lot faster than filing a bug which you *know* will get ignored by CentOS. Alan DeKok.

The thanks were sincere, it wasn't a complaint.

Hi,
Anyone any suggestions about this?
as Alan has already said, upgrade to the current 3.0.12 3.0.x release - the 3.0.4 release thats provided with your OS is old and has bugs - yes, CentOS backport security fixes (supposedly...the only way to ensure you are covered is to actually run 3.0.12 - though I'd advise 3.0.x HEAD - which is 3.0.13...or wait just a little longer for 3.0.13 to be released. either building from source on CentOS, or building a FR/centos spec RPM youself is pretty trivial (use a build box then stick the RPMs on your production server) if you look at release notes, you'll see several radmin fixes etc since 3.0.4 and theres not much FR can do about your version of 3.0.4 - if you raise a bug against CentOS version they may look at it and fix it. its already fixed in 3.0.x train and 3.0.4 isnt going to be patched in the 3.0.4 release - so CentOS will have to backport fixes to fix it...or ensure they release an updated version. alan
Hi, link was meant to be https://packetfence.org/downloads/PacketFence/CentOS7/x86_64/RPMS/ the other was the development RPMS :)
Hi, PS you might find this useful...or not. Packetfence is a CentOS 7 network access control solution... as they use opensource, they provide their packages: https://packetfence.org/downloads/PacketFence/CentOS7/devel/x86_64/RPMS/ 3.0.x versions for x86_64 CentOS7 alan
