Public bug reported:
1) When freeradius is configured (rediusd.conf) to start as unprivileged
user/group (freerad) it fails to start. Looks like it drops the privileges too
early, resulting in its being unable to read a number of configuration files
(all of them owned by root, of course):
# Loaded module rlm_preprocess
# Loading module "preprocess" from file
/etc/freeradius/mods-enabled/preprocess
preprocess {
huntgroups = "/etc/freeradius/mods-config/preprocess/huntgroups"
Unable to check file "/etc/freeradius/mods-config/preprocess/huntgroups":
Permission denied
/etc/freeradius/mods-enabled/preprocess[13]: Invalid configuration for module
"preprocess"
2) Talking about the startup problems, with EAP-TLS enabled it won't start
unless $tmpdir(e.g. /tmp/radiusd) exists — openssl requirement. So I had to
modify this section in init script to take care of it:
# /var/run may be a tmpfs
for i in "/var/run/freeradius" "/tmp/radiusd"
do
if [ ! -d $i ]; then
mkdir -p $i
chown freerad:freerad $i
fi
done
