I am using freeradius 1.1.2. Having it run with radiusd -AX shows the expected output. A kill -1 `pidof radiusd` lets it reread its configuration ... proxy: wake_all_if_all_dead = no security: max_attributes = 200 security: reject_delay = 1 security: status_server = no main: debug_level = 0 here the kill: read_config_files: reading dictionary read_config_files: reading naslist read_config_files: reading clients read_config_files: reading realms and that's it. Authentication still works, but no debugging output is displayed. Norbert Wegener
