2.1.1 - radiusd.sock - permission denied

[John Horne]

Hi,

I have installed FR2.1.1 onto a test server, built using the Fedora
rawhide RPM source. No problems building and installing FR, but when I
start FR it seems to immediately stop. The radius.log file just shows:

   Fri Sep 26 17:20:58 2008 : Error: Failed to
   stat /var/run/radiusd/radiusd.sock: Permission denied

The ls command shows:

   ls -l /var/run/radiusd/radiusd.sock
   srw-rw---- 1 radiusd radiusd 0 Sep 26
                    16:53 /var/run/radiusd/radiusd.sock

I have tried disabling selinux, and iptables, but they made no
difference. Changing the permissions to 666 on the socket made no
difference.
Running 'radiusd -C' shows nothing, and 'radiusd -X' starts up okay. If
I then use a different terminal I can run 'radmin' with no problem
(which I gather uses the socket).

The problem is, I can't see what permissions may be wrong. Anyone any
ideas on this?



John.
