[RADIATOR] Radiator dying due segfault on Debian Etch amd64

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Matti -

The best way to see what is happening is to run Radiator by hand like  
this (using the relevant pathnames of course):

	cd /your/Radiator/source/distribution

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

	.....

This will show you any Perl error messages prior to the crash.

We include the restartWrapper utility in "goodies/restartWrapper"  
that you can also use to catch error messages and restart radiusd.

BTW - the most recent version is Radiator 4.3.1 (plus patches).

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?
Have you checked the RadiusExpert wiki:
