[RADIATOR] Trace level online changing

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Arthur -

When you specify "FarmSize 4" in your configuration file, you are telling Radiator to start 4 child processes, all of which listen on the AuthPort and AcctPort you have specified.

The parent process does not handle any RADIUS requests itself, so although you have increased the debug level for the parent process, the children are still running at Trace 3.

If you do a "ps -aux" (or its moral equivalent on your system) you will see all of the radiusd processes, and you can send each child process a "kill -USR1 …." to increase the trace level of each one.

Don't forget to send the children a "kill -USR2 …." to reduce the trace level again.

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?
