(RADIATOR) [RADIATOR] Weird 3.14 Looping Problem

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Chris -

What you show below looks normal - the debug says it is looking in  
the database for the clients, then reads the dictionary, then opens  
the UDP ports and then sits waiting for radius requests.

What happens when you run radiusd from the command line:

	cd /your/Radiator/distribution

	perl radiusd -foreground -log_stdout -trace 4 -config_file /your/ 
configuration/file

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive (www.open.com.au/archives/ 
radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
