Reloading Freeradius configs via HUP

[Phil Pierotti]

Hi All,

So today I thought I'd try my hand at "nicely" reloading the freeradius
config using signals rather than hard restarting the daemon.

I added new config to the hints file and to the users file.

Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info: Received HUP signal.
Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info: Received HUP.
Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info:  Module: Reloaded module "suffix"
Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info:  Module: Reloaded module "auth_log"
Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info:  Module: Reloaded module "files"
Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info:  Module: Reloaded module "detail"
Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info:  Module: Reloaded module
"attr_filter.access_reject"
Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info:  Module: Reloaded module
"attr_filter.accounting_response"
Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info:  Module: Reloaded module "pap"
Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info: Loaded virtual server status
Wed Dec 29 14:49:11 2010 : Info: Loaded virtual server <default>


Ok, so that looks good.

However freeradius continued to act as if the configuration changes had not
been made.

I then went back and did a hard stop and start of freeradius, and now it is
clearly using the new configs.

Am I missing something? This should have just worked that simply, right?

(before anyone asks the obvious, no I am not running in debug mode. I don't
have any more detail on what it was thinking at the time)
