Hi,

Thanks for answers, but why Freeradius version 1.1.0 is can do that?

ha ha ha. because it LOOKS like it is doing a proper HUP but in fact many many things arent cleared properly. ALWAYS restart the service alan

So and what modules then are reload on a signal -HUP?

Read the "radius.log" file and see. If this isn't sufficient, please supply documentation to help everyone else who has this problem. Alan DeKok.

It can't. And don't CC me on messages to the list. As you might have noticed already, I read the list. And DON'T set "return-receipt requested". It's rude, and I NEVER send return receipts. Alan DeKok.

Good afternoon! Why the radiusd (ver 2.0.3+ cvs) with killall -HUP radiusd is not reload configuration files?

Because it doesn't. It's hard to do right. And no, Apache doesn't handle HUP, either. It just *looks* like it handles HUP. It really re-starts itself from scratch.

If you need FreeRADIUS to reload the configuration files, then stop && re-start it.

How can I check for syntax errors on configuration files without starting FreeRADIUS? There exists something like ISC DHCPD "-T" option?

Hi,

with FreeRADIUS 2.0.2 .... [root@nasa.gov ~]$ radiusd -h Usage: radiusd [-d db_dir] [-l log_dir] [-i address] [-n name] [-fsvXx] Options: -C Check configuration and exit. -d raddb_dir Configuration files are in "raddbdir/*". -f Run as a foreground process, not a daemon. -h Print this help message. -i ipaddr Listen on ipaddr ONLY -n name Read raddb/name.conf instead of raddb/radiusd.conf -p port Listen on port ONLY -s Do not spawn child processes to handle requests. -v Print server version information. -X Turn on full debugging. -x Turn on additional debugging. (-xx gives more debugging). so, -C is the option you want. sure. could've been -T like some other software. but why copy when you can innovate? :-) alan
