(RADIATOR) Problem with AuthBy EXTERNAL when radiusd is running under different uid/gid than root

[Per Lütkemeyer]

Hi Hugh !

I have expirenced problems when when running radiusd under a seperate user 
account.

The server is running Redhat 8.0 
The server is configured as Kerberos client and users are authenticated 
via PAM, it works fine.

The config (radius.cfg)  is testet when radiusd is running as root and it 
works as expected.
When switching to user radiator I'm getting following error in logfile
 "Wed Apr  2 10:22:38 2003: INFO: Access rejected for dmdpel: Error -1 
running EXTERNAL command: No child processes"


I've found this in the mailing list archives, is this relevant ?

Below I have included "radius.cfg", the script "chgrp.sh" and "logfile"

Do you need any further to answer my questions ?
