Re: (RADIATOR) Radiator as a Windows Service

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Brian -

You might try installing "cygwin" (www.cygwin.com) to see whether "tail 
-f" works.

You might also consider using an AuthLog clause (section 6.50 in the 
manual).

regards

Hugh

Hi Mike,

The ability to run Radiator as an NT service is excellent and I would 
like
to say well done indeed!

Personally, I very much like the ability to monitor a users ability 
(or more
importantly their inability) to login in real time.  Running Radiator 
in a
command window allows me to view the log file "as it happens" - much 
like a
"tail -f" would do in a Unix environment.

Is their any way to view the logfile in real time (or close to real 
time)
when running Radiator as a service on NT?

Regards,

Brian Morris

Subject: (RADIATOR) Radiator as a Windows Service

Hello all,

Up until now, users wishing to run Radiator as a Service on Windows 
were
required to install and configure a Service program such as SRVANY or
FireDaemon.

We have recently uploaded patches to the Radiator 3.5 patches area 
that
allow
Radiator to install and run itself as a Windows Service. This has also
involved some restructuring of some of the internals of radiusd. These
patches will appear in the next release of Radiator but in the 
meantime we
would welcome any comments on its use.

Now, on Windows,  radiusd supports some new command line arguments:

-service
Tells Radiator to run as a Windows Service. Requires Win32::Daemon, 
and
requires that the service have been previously installed with the
-installservice flag. Requires Win32::Daemon.

-installservice
On Windows, installs or reinstalls Radiator to run as a Windows 
Service.
The
service will be configured to run Radiator with all the same 
arguments as
was
passed with -installservice, and it will add the -service flag. After
this,
the Radiator service will appear in the Windows Service list as 
`Radiator
Radius Server'. The Service will automatically start next time the 
host is
booted. Requires Win32::Daemon.

-uninstallservice
On Windows, removes Radiator from Running as a Windows Service. 
Ensure the
service is stopped before uninstalling it. Requires Win32::Daemon.

Win32::Daemon can be installed on Windows with:
ppm install http://www.roth.net/perl/packages/win32-daemon.ppd
None of these changes are expected to effect the ability to run 
Radiator
as a
service under SRVANY or FireDaemon, or as a daemon on Unix.

Furthermore, on Windows, the command
perl Makefile.PL install
now also creates a folder C:\Program Files\Radiator and installs 
sample
configuration, users and dictionary files (if they are not already 
there).
This is expected to improve the installation process for Windows 
users.

Test and comments direct to me are welcome.
Cheers.
