FreeRadius won't start (differs from MaxC post)
-
On a vanilla system updated to 2006-12-23 I installed the freeradius package but the service won't start.
Deinstalled from webGUI and trying to manually add:pkg_add -r freeradius
gives this error:
warning: package 'freeradius-1.1.3_1' requires 'gdbm-1.8.3_3', but 'gdbm-1.8.3_2' is installed
It won't start also but might be a hint…
Just deinstalled the package as I don't need it on this box.jahonix

the pfsense freeradius package is talered to pfsense the one from freebsd needs more libs then pfsense has
in the pfsense freeradius gui there is a small gui error
if you replace freeradius.xml and freeradius.inc on location /usr/local/pkg
with the same files from http://wlelystad.homeip.net/pfsense/freeradius/and then go to freeradius settings on the gui and save then the correct freeradius config is made and freeradius will start
-
yep, just got it working this way.
Thanks alot - especially for the extended options accessible via webGUI!Now I can lockout the kids at night when they are supposed to sleep (if it works, haven't tested it yet but I am confident…)

for that option you need to config the captive portal with these options:
Hard timeout leave blank
send RADIUS accounting packets
Reauthenticate connected users every minute
Accounting updates interim updatethen pfsense will check every min if the user is still alowed

Well the updates look great, apparently I am still doing something wrong though here is the break down again:
With your updates I am now getting this error :
radiusd.conf[246] Failed to link to module 'rlm_expr': /usr/local/lib/rlm_expr.a: invalid file format
When I use an invalid bind address it does say this:
There appears to be another RADIUS server running on the authentication port 1812
Without jeroen234 upates I got the error on line 226 as previously posted…
It sounds like I may just still have a few bad lib files that aren't being built correclty, even with a fresh radius install, I'm not sure exactly why that is, but I would greatly appreciate if you could post the other lib files on your site for radius as well and I can see what I can do from there. Thanks again for all your help.

i think that you better can try a complete fresh install of pfsense
http://pfsense.com/~sullrich/1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-12-23-2006/pfSense.iso.gz
i can post the 50 or so freeradius files
but if youre hd is not good then that makes no sense
and my libs are the same as that you installed with the pfsense freeradius package -
Working now
I read sergu a post by sergu and what he did worked for me except I added a step
Uninstall package via gui
delete package with pkg_delete
reinstall the package with pkg_add
Install the package gui againCurrently radiusd is running
why?? I don't know
-
it works that is good ;D

It seems to be working great, I want to thank you again for all your help. After I got it working I uploaded your package updates, they look great. I do have one question though, what does the Ip-address field do, I know it uses attribute 8, framed-ip, but I'm not sure what its application is, could you give more info on that? Is it supposed to change your ip address dynamically to the on assigned?
I'm going to reload a second drive and see if I can trace the problem down so my 1 million posts can add up to something now. Thanks again!
-
the ip option is for the Issue IP Addresses via RADIUS server option of the pfsense pppoe server
there was some work going on to get this also in the vpn ptpp server
-
Well here is the update on the radius package:
Install Package
go to terminal issue:
pkg_delete freeradius-1.1.3_1
(some errors about not being to delete everything will come up, that's fine)
pkg_add -r freeradius
start the service, done dealSorry I don't know more than that but it should make it easier for the problem to be fixed, thanks to everyone who helpmed me out.
