Hi, Not
sure if you can help with this one, I have searched Google and also your
archives but cannot find an answer to my problem. I
have created a Radius startup script in /etc/init.d for Debian which looks like
this: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/radiusd
-X /usr/local/var/log/radius/radacct/ -d /usr/local/etc/raddb/ Now
this works but when I boot my server it shows as ‘ready to process
requests’ and it doesn’t login. I can’t get a login prompt.
If I do a CTRL –C to try close this it doesn’t work and just shows
CTRL C on the screen, I can type in kill radius but nothing happens. I
guess it’s because my script is in debugging mode, most of the suggestions
for a script said I should use: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/radiusd
-a /usr/local/var/log/radius/radacct/ -d /usr/local/etc/raddb/ However
the radiusd –a doesn’t work and if I try to run using command radiusd
–a in it comes up and says ‘invalid command’ and I don’t
have the option to use the –a So if
this script runs on my server, I could connect to the server through a putty
session via port 22 and log on fine and do what I need too, but if I try to
connect to the server directly after boot its just sitting on ‘ready to
process requests’ and I cannot do anything when directly at the server.
On one particular server I didn’t have the network confg right so I couldn’t
putty to it and now I’m a bit stuck. Will I need to rebuild my server? As
I can’t break out of this ‘ready to process requests’ and I cannot
login as its just sitting there, I have tried connecting through serial
management via my laptop but I cant do anything this way either the only way I could
do anything was if I could get through to the server on putty. There
must be a way when directly at the server to cancel the radius and get logged
in? As I’ve mentioned CTRL C doesn’t work. I can get to the ok
prompt but not sure what command to use and if I could change the network
config at the ok prompt or if I could somehow cancel the startup script at the ok
prompt? I thought I could use the init commands to start the server without the
script starting but the init commands don’t work and the server just sits
there. Please
help out if you can? Also I
guess I shouldn’t be using radius –X in my startup script, to
prevent this problem is there something else I should be using? I tried using
radius –x (the small x) and I hit enter and then no process for radius
starts so I’m a bit confused. Thank
you
