Syslog and FreeRADIUS

[Ted Behling]

Jonathan,
 
I'm actually planning to roll out RADIUS on a virtualization platform
too, probably Xen.  Could you share what VM platform you're using?
Thanks!
 
Ted

	whoa. thats completely different to what the current server
does,
	virtual or not. what details do you want to syslog?
	
	
	  

For a start I want to syslog the stuff that usually goes into radius.log
- so the messages when the server starts (which are already being
syslogged successfully) and the summary line (Auth: Login OK) printed
after an authentication (which are currently not being sent to syslog).

I also want to syslog the stuff that normally gets filed away under
/var/log/radius/radacct - so details of radius packets for debugging.

The reason for wanting to send everything to a log host on the network
is that the new generation of radius servers we are preparing are all
virtualised and only have a few GB of disk - so no room for logs.

Cheers,
Jonathan
