[gentoo-user] freeradius rlm_unix and gentoo
Has anyone been able to get this to work correctly? Meaning when starting freeradius in Gentoo with the unix module enabled I get the error .. radiusd.conf[547] Failed to link to module 'rlm_unix': file not found As per freeradius this a linker issue with Gentoo Libraries. I have compiled from source and disable shared libraries, but still get the same error.I have even tried to copy the libs from the source modules directory into /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib and /lib/. I've tried this... ldconfig -l -v /usr/lib/rlm_unix* ldconfig: Ignored file /usr/lib/rlm_unix-0.9.3.la since it is not a regular file. rlm_unix-0.9.3.so - rlm_unix-0.9.3.so ldconfig: /usr/lib/rlm_unix.a is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. ldconfig: No link created since soname could not be found for /usr/lib/rlm_unix.a ldconfig: /usr/lib/rlm_unix.la is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. ldconfig: No link created since soname could not be found for /usr/lib/rlm_unix.la ldconfig: /usr/lib/rlm_unix.lai is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. ldconfig: No link created since soname could not be found for /usr/lib/rlm_unix.lai ldconfig: Ignored file /usr/lib/rlm_unix.so since it is not a regular file.

Only thing I have found so far is.. http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/519290/poplimitd.html http://sourceforge.net/projects/poplimitd/ It will send out a nice form mail to the customer telling them to stop checking mail so often.

When I installed gentoo before, I had no problem just following the instructions and getting everything to work, but now I can't seem to find eth0. I run net-setup, and take the static IP route, and it accepts everything just fine, but when net-setup exits, it complains that it can't find eth0.
