[Freeipa-users] Issue with fresh install of FreeRADIUS

[Anthony Cheng]

Hi all,

Just did a fresh install of FreeRADIUS following this guide on a
Centos 7 box - http://www.freeipa.org/page/Using_FreeIPA_and_FreeRadius_as_a_RADIUS_based_software_token_OTP_system_with_CentOS/RedHat_7

Local testing with radtest works, however radiusd have issues.  I do
find it odd that these line indicated success:

Process: 1270 ExecStartPre=/bin/chown -R radiusd.radiusd
/var/run/radiusd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

But then:

[root at ipa1test ~]# systemctl status radiusd.service -l
● radiusd.service - FreeRADIUS high performance RADIUS server.
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/radiusd.service; enabled;
vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Tue 2016-01-05 18:32:09 EST; 15h ago
  Process: 1334 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/radiusd -C (code=exited,
status=1/FAILURE)
  Process: 1270 ExecStartPre=/bin/chown -R radiusd.radiusd
/var/run/radiusd (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)

performance RADIUS server....

I find a few google hits but they had different error codes & issues
which seemed different. Anyone have any suggestion or should I just go
to latest stable which is 3.0.10?

[root at ipa1test ~]# radiusd -v
