1. Cant read radius.log (Adam Schappell)

[Rui Ribeiro]

Hi all,

Adding the user freerad to www-data group won't probably help. Adding the
user www-data to freerad group, which is probably what you wanted to
suggest is also a terrible ideia from the security point of view.

You would better play with the permissions of the directory, or add the
user www-data to the adm group (also not the best of the ideas). Pick your
devil.

A better solution would probably be configure syslog to log also to another
less secure directory and configure daloradius accordingly.

Regards
