not sure I am on the right track with unbuntu and freeradius

2006-11-07 Thread Cameron Cowie

Hi all:
Still havening some issues running free radius on Ubuntu.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sbin# free radius -v
free radius: free radius Version 1.0.2, for host , built on Aug  6 2006 
at 20:11:24

Copyright (C) 2000-2003 The free radius server project.

Now I understand that I have to do the following to get the pid to fire 
correctly as root


mkdir /var/run/freeradius
chown freerad freerad /var/run/freeradius

when I do that it fires up correctly and waits for connections.

One issue is that power where I am us spotty at best and power loss  
happen frequently and I loose the /var/run/freeradius/ directory at reboot.


I know that /var/run is on a ram drive so I set it to be permanently 
mounted (cheated and used webmin for that).


Why does the /var/run/freeradius directory disapear after a reboot? Am I 
missing something here?


Am I writing to the right group is this a Freeradius issue or and Ubuntu 
issue, and if it is a ubuntu issue should I be running under another O/S ?


Any and all help and comments is appreciated.


Cameron

Ubuntu does this.

Since they do this, they need to make sure it is recreated for services
that need it.  So, probably filing a bug that /var/run/freeradius isn't
recreated at boot time would be a good idea.
