Date: Tue, Feb 16, 1999 at 03:46:28PM +1100 > Hi John > > Hope you don't mind this question > > I have just started using the FreeBSD Radius port and found a problem. > > In my system every 15 minute a new 'users' file is created for radius. > > To get (radiusd-cistron-1.5.4.3) to read the new file I have to kill radiusd and > start it up again. cistron was design to do things fast.... the fastest way to process a file is in memory, so cistron reads the dictionary, users file, and client file into its memory..... if you change these files you have to reload the daemon. if you have your hints file setup correctly and select the default users correctly you shouldn't need to reload the users file every 15min. the only exception would be if you had CHAP passwords in the radius file and were changing them every 15min.... > > Is there any way around this problem ? > > > Thanks > > Keith Anderson > > > > --- > > "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better,' so I installed FreeBSD." > > > ---------------------------------- > E-Mail: Keith Anderson > Date: 16-Feb-99 > Time: 15:37:51 > Satelite Service 64K to 2Meg > This message was sent by XFMail > ---------------------------------- > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message -- Email: skafte@worldgate.com Voice: +403 413 1910 Fax: +403 421 4929 #575 Sun Life Place * 10123 99 Street * Edmonton, AB * Canada * T5J 3H1 -- -- When things can't get any worse, they simplify themselves by getting a whole lot worse then complicated.
