Subject: radiusd service do not start



Hi,

 

I installed freeradius to manage the wifi network of our organization
(17 wifi ap)

It works well when launched in command line (radiusd -X), but I can't
make it work as a service,

 

'Service radiusd start' seems to work, but radius close immediately
after, so a status will say that radiusd is dead, but subsys is locked.

 

That indicates a permissions problem. When you run radiusd -X it runs as
root. When you start as a service it switches to the user specified in
radiusd.conf, usually radiusd.

 

Try: 

strace -f -e open,stat radiusd

and look for lines with EPERM indicating files that failed to open
because of permission fails. These will probably be owned by root.

 

regards,

Frank Ranner
