A note for those that may run into this as well. When updating FR to 2.1.9 on RHEL/CentOS with SELinux enabled FreeRADIUS would log the following when it was started: Wed Jun 2 16:19:57 2010 : Error: Failed disabling core dumps: Permission denied
To resolve I had to install the following modifications to the default SELinux policy # cat freeradius2.te module freeradius2 1.0; require { type radiusd_t; class process setrlimit; } #============= radiusd_t ============== allow radiusd_t self:process setrlimit; This allowed the daemon to properly disable core dumps.
