RADIUS
I just upgraded a slink server to potato and had some problems with the
radius server. On slink I had hand-compiled my own radius server from
livingston 2.0.1 source code. Wanting to avoid future headaches I
decided to upgrade to cistron radiusd.
During the dist-upgrade I told dpkg to overwrite my /etc/services file,
/etc/services has these entries that seem to relate to radius:
datametrics 1645/tcp
datametrics 1645/udp
sa-msg-port 1646/tcp
sa-msg-port 1646/udp
radius 1812/tcp
radius 1812/udp
radacct 1813/tcp
radacct 1813/udp
Until I commented the above lines, and replaced them with those below,
my terminal servers (Livingston Portmasters) refused to communicate
with the new radiusd.
radius 1645/tcp
radius 1645/udp
raddacct 1646/tcp
raddacct 1646/udp
After thinking about it, I'm pretty sure that I had to change these
entries for slink as well. Is this a bug in cistron radiusd, a bug
in my portmasters or a bug in /etc/services (netbase)?
Thanks!
Fraser
