(RADIATOR) radiator hanging itself...

[peter moody]

Hello,
I'm having a pretty serious problem with radiator.  every day now for
the last few days, it seems to hang itself.  The problem, one of the
problems, is that it doesn't do me the courtesy of actually dying, it
just stop running.  Ie. it stays in the proc list, and it recieves HUP's
but it doesn't *do* anything.

Here's a bit more detail.
this morning, I came at 7.30, radiator hadn't written to the log file in
25 minutes, and I was getting complaints that users were unable to
authenticate. 
(from logfile, trace 2, times in EST)
Wed Mar 13 10:04:17 2002: ERR: Attribute number 24 (vendor 2637) is not
defined in your dictionary
Wed Mar 13 10:04:29 2002: ERR: Attribute number 24 (vendor 2637) is not
defined in your dictionary
Wed Mar 13 10:04:36 2002: ERR: Attribute number 24 (vendor 2637) is not
defined in your dictionary

so I HUP'd it.
Wed Mar 13 10:46:39 2002: NOTICE: SIGHUP received: restarting

and nothing happened.  So I TERM'd it and restarted.
Wed Mar 13 10:47:29 2002: WARNING: No Hosts defined for
Radius::AuthSQLRADIUS at 'conf/radius.cfg' line 56

and that's it.  now it's working.   I don't have a real way to replicate
the problem, except I'm pretty sure that when I come into work
tommorrow, the same thing will have happened.

here's my setup details:
running radiator 2.19 on rh 6.2. kern 2.2.19-6 smp

config file looks something like this (generalized):

<radius.cfg> /usr/local/radiator/conf/
|
|-> <includes.cfg> /usr/local/radiator/conf/
    |
	 |-> <realm definitions> /usr/local/radiator/conf/realms/
		
config, more specific:
/usr/local/radiator/conf/radius.cfg:

DefineGlobalVar mysqlsource dbi:mysql:(dbname)
DefineGlobalVar mysqluser (username)
DefineGlobalVar mysqlpass (password)

#Foreground
#LogStdout
LogDir		/usr/local/radiator-1/log/
LogFile 	/usr/local/radiator-1/log/radius.log
DbDir		/usr/local/radiator-1/raddb/
Trace		2
BindAddress	(ipaddress)

Include %D/includes.cfg

-=-=
/usr/local/radaitor/conf/includes.cfg:
Include %D/realms/(somerealm)
Include %D/realms/(somerealm)
Include %D/realms/(somerealm)

-=-=
/usr/local/radiator/conf/realms/(somerealm)
	(realm definition)	
	

-=-=

let me know what else I can provide (i know, i know, trace 4..I'll do
what I can, but it means leaving it running on trace 4 all night, and
it's not exactly a quiet radius server...)

anyway, thanks for the help. 
btw, when's 3.0 coming out, eta at least?  not the beta, but the full.

thanks again.
