(RADIATOR) ver 3.3 problem

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Rick -

This problem is usually caused by the radiusd process disconnecting from 
the controlling process.

I notice the excerpt from the configuration file includes the 
"Foreground" parameter - are you sure this is the configuration file 
that is in use? You could also try using the "restartWrapper" program 
that is included in the Radiator distribution to see if it behaves 
differently (you should start it from the startup scripts rather than 
from inetd. The advantage in using restartWrapper is that you can 
configure it to send mail to an administrator if Radiator stops fro 
whatever reason and the mail also includes the Perl error messages and 
so on.

You could also specify the -foreground parameter in the command line run 
from inetd:

	/usr/bin/radiusd -foreground -config_file .....

BTW - are you sure that "/usr/bin/radiusd" is actually Radiator?

regards

Hugh
