Marinko This sounds like a race will take place between the two processes if there is no co-ordination. If (as you say) you are able to start mysqld after radiusd then I think if you look at tail of /var/log/radius/radius.log you will see something like:
Starting connect to MySQL server for #0 Couldn't connect socket to MySQL server r...@127.0.0.1:radius Mysql error 'Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (61)' Failed to connect DB handle #0 Ready to process requests. and then messages about radiusd managing to re-aquire the db handles later on - eg: Trying to (re)connect unconnected handle 3.. Starting connect to MySQL server for #3 got socket 3 after skipping 0 unconnected handles There needs to be a wait-on-mysql option for radiusd startup - surely?? What baffles me is that I'm a newbie here and surely all the veteran users have long since flushed this problem out into the open - or does nobody EVER use the NAS sql extensions??

Also, NAS table usually is not so big and I don't see any reason for slow start. Is there anything in mysql logs ? James Duffy wrote: > Marinko > > Do you use MySQL for NAS authentication?
