  That should not have been down.  It got rebooted, and powerdns didn't
come back up.

For some reason freeradius has three NS servers being spat out by the 
.org TLD authority boxen, you ask the *only* responding authority server 
for freeradius.org and it comes back that there are only two authoritative 
servers for the zone. :)

If this is a recent breakage, it's possible either ns3 or ns6 gave back 
something interesting (NXDOMAIN for example) which have be cached by 
your resolver just before it completely went down.

Either way, freeradius.org probably could do with more than one 
authoritive DNS server :)

not in 1.1.x.

Ok, maybe i should rephrase my question: I'm not so much interested in
the HUP part, but the check-config part. I'm perfectly happy with
stopping and starting the radius-server IF I can make sure it will
succeed with the new config. I'm only changing the users file and
have no database connections at all so this should be doable. A tool
like radiusd-chkconfig (like bind offers) would probably be the right
thing.

I understand however that in a more complicated setup HUPs might be
problematic.

...or hit a used port by accident. This script is just no elegant
solution. I guess I'll just have to keep two servers running on
different IPs and check if the test-server crashes with the new users
file before restarting the main server.

  It's not only hard to do, it can cause problems.

  i.e. opening *double* the connections to your SQL server.  That may be

  Yes.  But please understand that this is *not* apache.  FreeRADIUS has
1% (or less) of the resources that the apache team has.  And, the
integration between RADIUS and databases is *much* stronger and more
important than Apache.

  i.e. Apache can handle HUP && reload it's configuration because it
doesn't *do* anything.  It doesn't cache connections.  It doesn't
maintain a large number of connections to databases, etc.  It can afford
to start up a completely brand new instance of itself from scratch,
because there are almost no side-effects to doing so.

  In contrast, FreeRADIUS has to keep packet caches.  It usually has
large numbers of connections to database, etc.

  You can update the script to add "-i 127.0.0.1" to it.  After that it
*should* work, so long as you don't have limits on the number of
database connections, etc.

> I tried to change the Wiki entry but apparently I don't have permission

Hi,

well, any talking of HUP'ing right now is bad joojoo.


I've just checked and you can do something like

radiusd -X -p 1890 -i 127.0.0.1


which will work fine - perhaps we should cook up another method of
checking the config is sane - using this sort of method for now.


several people have requested a 'check the config' option - a
new version of the -C option - i'm not sure what exact state
the parser is in...or if it would be easier to use another
utility - eg radiusd-chkconfig - which is solely primed for
running through the config files and checking it all works
but then not firing up - it just gives an exit code.

Can FAQ 6.10 please be fixed?

2007-11-08 Thread Jens Dreger
Hi!

It took me a while to figure out that FAQ 6.10:

 
http://wiki.freeradius.org/index.php/FAQ#How_do_I_check_the_configuration_before_sending_a_HUP_to_the_server.3F

is simply no longer true. Checked the source: that option is gone. I
really really think that option should be there, though. I know there
is a shell script that starts a second server on a different port and
waits to see if it starts successfully. But that's also broken since
the -p Option doesn't seem to work in all cases:

~> strace -e bind freeradius -X -p 32768 2>&1 | grep port
 main: port = 1812
 listen: port = 0
bind(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1812),   <
sin_addr=inet_addr("130.133.100.66")}, 16) = -1 EADDRINUSE (Address
already in use)
/etc/freeradius/radiusd.conf[228]: Error binding to port for
130.133.100.66:1812

Also, that approach is somewhat ridiculous considered the importance
of the radius server in our case.

I tried to change the Wiki entry but apparently I don't have permission
to do so. Can someone with write access to the Wiki please remove that
entry (or better, add the -C option back to freeradius ;)

Thanks,

Jens.

FAQ question

2005-04-04 Thread Greg Swift
And as me and a co-worker read through the FAQ again he points something 
out to me that we both raised our eyebrows at the last line... might 
(i'm hoping) need an update.

   2.1 Is there a WWW site set up for FreeRADIUS information?

Yes, the FreeRADIUS Server WWW site is at 

http://www.freeradius.org/
It contains the new server, documentation, and additional RADIUS programs.
Note that this server is NOT ready for public use.

That's needed because the linker doesn't try to back-resolve
dependancies, and OpenSSL's static libraries are interdependant or
something. The config.logs will prove more enlightening.

Keep in mind that the configure scripts have been upgraded to 2.57 in
CVS HEAD, which will be 1.1.0 sooner or later (hopefully sooner ^_^)
and this may already be fixed in CVS head.

I'm happy to look at patches for 1.0.2 (everyone's talking about 1.0.1
here, I'm not taking patches for _that_) to fix this, unless we already
did so between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2. But unless they're obviously safe, I'll
need a hand testing them on various interesting implementations to be
sure everything still works no worse than 1.0.2. And if we're lucky,
there won't be a pressing need for 1.0.3 before 1.1.0 ships.

But I don't really think inverting that order is going to help as trying

Oops, I didn't see that yet. That looks like it ought to fix whatever
problem, unless it's only happening _after_ the (failing) check for ssl library.

> If I get some time (schedule is tight at the moment!)

Same problem here. I'm going on holiday on wednesday and there's too much
I want to finish before that ... :-(

Actually, so far I mainly focussed on working around the problem(s), patching
configure scripts is something where I don't really feel comfortable...

Thanks for the reply Stefan,
I haven't tried linking freeRADIUS with static libraries yet, and I must 
admit I missed the "--disable-shared" in J.Ho's email. Well picked up...

I'm guessing the problem stems from this part of the configure.in 
script, where it's checking for DH_new in -lcrypto prior to testing for 
SSL_new in -lssl:

 # Look for the OpenSSL libraries.
 smart_try_dir=$OPENSSL_LIB_DIR
 FR_SMART_CHECK_LIB(crypto, DH_new)
 if test "x$ac_cv_lib_crypto_DH_new" = "xyes"; then
   FR_SMART_CHECK_LIB(ssl, SSL_new)
   if test "x$ac_cv_lib_ssl_SSL_new" = "xyes"; then
and, with this, you can just tell things are going to be messy:
 OPENSSL_LIBS="$OPENSSL_LIBS -lcrypto -lssl -lcrypto"
;-)

If I get some time (schedule is tight at the moment!) I'll have a play 
around with it to see if things can be improved, even just for my own 
curiosity and learning how these things work! I've got issues with the 
rlm_ldap configure script also that I'd like to finally sort out. I also 
build on Solaris 9, so maybe we can get some of these issues that seem

Yes, configure is appending libraries in the wrong order for its
test compilations ("-lcrypto -lssl" instead of  "-lssl -lcrypto").
While this is apparently no problem for shared libraries on most
platforms it breaks when using static libs

> ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/radius --with-openssl-
> includes=/usr/local/openssl/include/ --with-openssl-
> libraries=/usr/local/openssl/lib/ --disable-shared

Try (in a single line):
LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto"
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/radius --with-openssl-
includes=/usr/local/openssl/include/ --disable-shared
That should work around the configure bug explained
above.

If you search for build problems on Solaris, you'll
find a (couple of) reference(s) to this problems in
the mailing list archive ...

Hi J.Ho,
Take a look in config.log. If you're familar with compilers, etc, it 
will tell you what the compiler was attempting to do when it failed that 
step (essentially it should be looping through a list of directories - 
including the one you specified - passing each one as a -L argument to 
the compiler until the command succeeds). From there you can better 
determine where the problem lies.

I've found a few issues with the configure scripts in the past where 
things weren't quite right, but they've mostly been related to Solaris.

It fails for all the modules, i.e. rlm_eap_tls, rlm_eap_peap,

All the .h files, i.e. err.h, crypto.h, rand.h and engine.h are found 

in the earlier part of the configure, OpenSSL version listed as 0.9.7 
and DH_new is detected.

Also, locate libssl shows the following:

/usr/lib/apache-extramodules/libssl.so
/usr/local/openssl/lib/libssl.a

I am running Mandrake10.1 with openssl0.9.7e tarball-extracted to 
/usr/local/openssl.

The command used to compile openssl was (entered in a single line):
./config --prefix=/usr/local/openssl --openssldir=/usr/local/openssl

The command used to compile freeradius was (entered in a single 
line):
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/radius --with-openssl-
includes=/usr/local/openssl/include/ --with-openssl-

The error is coming from the "SSL_new in -lssl" not being detected.  
However, i have expressly pointed to the openssl/lib path as shown 
above under the freeradius configure so i do not know why it isn't 
being picked up.

Could anyone tell me why and how to resolve this? I have spent the

the answers to no avail. 

Closest i got was the post from Tom Rixon ( 
http://lists.freeradius.org/archives/freeradius-

.h side and not the "SSL_new in -lssl...no" part (or maybe i  have 
overlooked the answer hidden inside the thread :P)

Thanks in advance for any assistance rendered!  I am at a dead end 
here and need some fresh perspective... :(

Thanks for your help!

Nope no spaces in the max result,
Appearntly it is failing this test in find.php3 in the lib folder:
$link = @da_sql_pconnect($config);
if ($link){
 $search = da_sql_escape_string($search);
 if (!is_int($max_results))

What makes $link true?
This is a guess, but when da_sql_pconnect is being called because of the @
it's not throwing out it's error, thus causing da_sql_pconnect to return
false, making $link false :)
it's probably no the best idea to use is_int on a numeric response to a
hidden call either..
Yeah Kostas posted that I was using an old version and the newest version 
used is_numeric, if thats the case then an old version is being distributed 
with FR 1.0.1 because that is all I have downloaded and thats what I got.

Hi

I have downloaded and installed pam_radius_auth on a Gentoo Linux box. It
sort-of works, however not always as I expect.

Before I bore the list with trivial questions which might have been answered
previously, perhaps someone can point me in the direction of an FAQ or some more

Any advise appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
