will hints file be processed?

[Stefan A.]

Even If I assign values to THEattributes in hints file, some later
evaluations in the default file are pretending:

"Request:THEattributes not found"

I think, I've misconfigured something and the radiusd simply jumps out of
hints...



How may I debug the processing of the hints file?

Starting "radiusd -Xx" works fine:
...
Fri Apr  9 18:34:25 2010 : Debug:     (Loaded rlm_preprocess, checking if
it's valid)
Fri Apr  9 18:34:25 2010 : Debug:  Module: Linked to module rlm_preprocess
Fri Apr  9 18:34:25 2010 : Debug:  Module: Instantiating preprocess
Fri Apr  9 18:34:25 2010 : Debug:   preprocess {
Fri Apr  9 18:34:25 2010 : Debug:       huntgroups =
"/usr/local/etc/raddb/huntgroups"
Fri Apr  9 18:34:25 2010 : Debug:       hints = "/usr/local/etc/raddb/hints"
...

receiving the a packet, I will output
...
Fri Apr  9 18:34:54 2010 : Info: +- entering group authorize {...}
Fri Apr  9 18:34:54 2010 : Info: ++[preprocess] returns ok
Fri Apr  9 18:34:54 2010 : Info: ++[chap] returns noop
...


I remember, that it has shown something like 'matched Line 17' in the past.
I'm sure, editing the correct hints file: If I do a mistake in a DEFAULT
line, radiusd does not load.


Any Idea, how to get more output, at least for the positive matches?

Thank you
Stefan
