Hello, I did set the permissions to 777 just to see where could be the problem. Below are permissions on /etc and /etc/freeradius: emilie:~# ls -dl /etc/ drwxr-xr-x 61 root root 4096 2005-07-14 18:32 /etc/ emilie:~# ls -dl /etc/freeradius drwxr-s--- 3 root freerad 4096 2005-07-15 23:12 /etc/freeradius radclient was called from a cgi script on apache running under username /group = www-data/www-data , and freeradius under freerad/freerad. Thanks in advance. --- Alan DeKok <aland@ox.org> wrote:

What can cause dictionry permissions even if /etc/freeradius/dictionnary has rwxrwxrwx as permissions setting

Please don't set the permissions to a+w, it's *not* necessary, and is a security problem.

radclient: dict_init: Couldn't open dictionary "/etc/freeradius/dictionary": Permission denied

What are the permissions on /etc and /etc/freeradius?
