[RADIATOR] AuthLogSYSLOG.pm

[Klara Mall]

Hi,

radiator 4.7 is running on Debian GNU/Linux lenny i386 (Perl v5.10.0)
here. No problems with AuthLog SYSLOG.

Just tested my configuration with radiator 4.7 on Debian GNU/Linux
squeeze amd64 (Perl v5.10.1) and ran into trouble with Authlog SYSLOG.

Relevant configuration settings in <AuthLog SYSLOG> clause:
       Facility local7
       LogSock udp
       LogHost loghost
       LogIdent radauth

Result: Nothing is logged on loghost and radiator log is telling:
Thu Apr  7 22:30:28 2011: ERR: Error while doing AuthLog SYSLOG: no
connection to syslog available
        - udp connect: nobody listening at
/usr/share/perl5/Radius/AuthLogSYSLOG.pm line 138

The following patch fixes it:
--- AuthLogSYSLOG.pm.orig	2011-04-07 23:16:09.000000000 +0200
+++ AuthLogSYSLOG.pm	2011-04-07 23:16:16.000000000 +0200
