(RADIATOR) Bad arg length for Socket::pack_sockaddr_in

Hi

I have run the below and got output describing that the server is
started on the address 0.0.0.0

Running perl radpwtst just produces the same error:
> Bad arg length for Socket::pack_sockaddr_in, length is 0, should be
> 4 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Socket.pm line 373

And the server running in the 1st window showed no additional output.

But if I specify the server address as below

perl radpwtst -s 127.0.0.1 or perl radpwtst -s 192.168.0.1 it connects
and AUTHs fine.

And the server running in the 1st window showed the AUTHed connection
from either 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.0.1.

I have installed the server and run it using a simple config and
everything seems fine with no errors using a Cisco Router and Wireless
access point for SSH access AUTHed to radiator so I think it may be my
installation of Linux that is wrong only when I run make test. I will be
building a new PC soon with Slackware and will try it on that distro.

Thank you for the below help, I will let you know if I get the same
error on Slackware.

Kind Regards

Kev

Hello Kevin -

Could you please try the following and let me know the results:

	cd /your/Radiator/distribution

	perl radiusd -foreground -log_stdout -trace 4 -config_file
goodies/ simple.cfg

then in another terminal window:

	cd /your/Radiator/distribution

	perl radpwtst

You could also try installing ActivePerl from ActiveState
(www.activestate.com) and test with that.

regards

Hugh
