Hi Monish,

Thank you for the idea!  I checked, and found the process.  but on this debian
system, the process is actually named "freeradius", instead of the traditional
"radiusd".:(  So there are indeed some changes on how the freeradius is run on
debian.  Do you have more idea about it?  
Can anyone tell me more on how the debian is running the freeradius and how I can
stop the server from command line in debian system?  (pls see problem detail below)

Thanks a lot!!

wanted to stop it to do some testing using my modified configuration files. I tried
to stop the server using command: 'freeradius stop' ('radiusd' doesn't work on this
debian - anyone knows why??)

anyone tell me why the command couldn't stop the server?? and how should I stop it??
