      Freeradius package is not starting automaticly upon startup, but after PFSense is loaded I can start it using Status -> Services.
      Only error I can find in the logs is:

      php-fpm[242]: /rc.start_packages: The command '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/radiusd.sh stop' returned exit code '1', the output was 'radiusd not running?'

      Seems that a stop command is issued instead of a start…

      How to debug?

      Regards,
      Donald.

          Do you ment ssh'ing into pfsense, I do have ssh shell and pfSense Developer Shell there, but can't find anything to add something, or do you ment via webconfigurator?

            Install Shellcmd package. From GUI. Use it. Done. Plus, regarding the message, no, it's using restart_service(), so - when it's not running, stop fails. Completely harmless log noise.

              Okay, clear.

              The package FreeRADIUS is not starting at boot, but is giving the error above, when I manually start it, it works.
