(RADIATOR) radiusd Dos Command works great....but service is intermittent

Wed Jul 16 07:53:43 CDT 2003

Hello, Everyone.

In the past few weeks of my radius 3.6 implementation it been working
very well.

There are moments when the service would stall and I would start to
receive complaints from users.

If I use the DOS command, it works great...but I don't want to use this
all the time. Dos command: c:\perl\bin> perl radiusd -config_file <path
to config file> trace -4.

I was thinking about creating my own service and just placing this
command in the "service".

Has anyone seen any problems like this? I was going to use the Microsoft
knowledge base to create the service.

	Hi Hugh & all,

 I have installed Radiator 3.6 (with patches), and when trying to test
with radpwtst (/usr/local/radius/bin/radpwtst -secret foobar -user pp
-password bleh -auth_port 1812 -acct_port 1813 -nas_ip_address
192.168.0.9 -nas_port_type=2), not only do I get a lot of messages like:

Attribute number 1 is not defined in your dictionary
Attribute number 6 is not defined in your dictionary
Attribute number 4 is not defined in your dictionary
Attribute number 5 is not defined in your dictionary
Attribute number 30 is not defined in your dictionary
Attribute number 31 is not defined in your dictionary
Attribute number 61 is not defined in your dictionary
Attribute number 2 is not defined in your dictionary
No such attribute Unknown
No such attribute Unknown
No such attribute Unknown
No such attribute Unknown
No such attribute Unknown

No such attribute Unknown

 But I also get the old (ERR: do failed for 'delete from online where
NASID='127.0.0.1' and NASPort=0': MySQL server has gone away) in the
radius' logfile.

 Any ideas why the dictionary makes problems (yes, I am using the new
dictionary shipped with Radiator 3.6 file -- I even specify the file on
the radiusd's command line), and also what could be wrong with the MySQL
connection? Again, only the first test results in this "mysql has
gone away" error, the following tests are allright.

 Thank you,
 bogdan
