(RADIATOR) Log Directory unavailable

[Stegen Smith]

Good Afternoon Kevin,

Perhaps on the fifth machine you can just set it up as a syslog server.  
Setup Radiator to use <Log SYSLOG>, vs <Log FILE>.  I'd probably set the 
Facility to something other than 'user' (which is the default radiator 
uses) within the radiator configuration.  (See Radiator Manual section 
6.11.1) So then you can configure the syslog server to log to say 
'/var/adm/radiator.log' vs '/var/adm/messages'.

Now I've never tried this before, but I'm just going on what the 
documetation says you can do, and what we know syslog should be able to 
do. ;)

My 2 cents, hopefully they're worth that!

We are running RADIATOR 3.7 under Solaris on 4 servers.  I'd like to be 
able to have all four servers put their log files in the same place, so 
I created a file share on a fifth machine and pointed all of the log 
files to that machine.  However, when then network connection is dropped 
to the log server, all four RADIATOR servers stop responding to RADIUS 
requests and the process won't even respond to a SIGHUP.
