(RADIATOR) Logfile

Hello Geoffrey -

I generally use special characters for my log file names, usually with 
global variables passed in on the command line.

It is usually _much_ easier to have seperate log files otherwise it 
gets very confusing trying to understand what you are looking at.

# define log file

LogDir /var/log/radius

LogFile %L/%{GlobalVar:instance}/%Y-%m-%d.log


This will create a new log file for each instance every day so you can 
then have a cron job archive/delete the old logs as necessary.

Your startup script would include something like this:

	perl radiusd -config_file /your/radius/authentication.cfg 
instance=authentication

and

	perl radiusd -config_file /your/radius/accounting.cfg 
instance=accounting


regards

Hugh

NB: have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
