Hi Roy and everyone,

FreeRADIUS 2.0.0-pre2 is some way behind the released FreeRADIUS 2.0.0. 
By the time 2.0.0-pre2 got committed to the FreeBSD ports tree, we were 
very close to the 2.0.0 release.

FreeBSD PR ports/119582 contains what should become the net/freeradius2 
port for the 2.0.0 release version.

However, radsqlrelay is version 1.7 in the released 2.0.0 as well.

struct flock has different parameters in FreeBSD's C library - or, more 
accurately, the same parameters in a different order - see man 2 fcntl


In /usr/local/bin/radsqlrelay read down a few lines further than you 
were looking into sub setlock. Back up the file, then change the my 
$packed line to:

my $packed = pack($FLOCK_STRUCT, $start, $len, 0, F_WRLCK, SEEK_SET);

That should be all on one line; it's the same parameters in a different 
order.


Then go up to the my $FLOCK_STRUCT line and make the corresponding 
change:

my $FLOCK_STRUCT = 'l2is2';



This is *completely* untested - but looks to be more in line with the 
FreeBSD man page. If it works, I'll add a rather tidier patch to the 
port in due course - one that updates the comments as well.

If this doesn't work, it needs further investigation.



Best wishes,




David
