Freeradius redhat download

Let rpm do its job by not side stepping its critical functionality by performing installs behind its back with a "make install". If you want the radiusd service to be automatically started every time the system boots then you will need to use chkconfig to turn it on.

The numbers listed are the individual run levels. In this example radiusd is "off" for each run level, this means it will never be automatically started.

This shows that the FreeRadius service will be automatically started whenever the system enters run levels 3,4,5 which are the defaults. If the package is not installed, or if you want to know the list of files in a specific rpm then pass the pathname of the rpm, e.

Use the rpm query command with the 'f' file flag. The most likely cause is you have not installed a necessary freeradius subpackage which contains the shared library. If you install the missing subpackage containing the shared library the problem should go away. Usually it's obvious from the name of the missing shared library which subpackage is necessary. If not please see the section of the FAQ which explains how to determine which package owns a file. The normal sequence of steps to build from sources is:.

The configure step typically requires passing command line parameters to the configure script directing it to produce a build with specific properties, e. After the requirements have been identified it would also be advantageous to be able to re-execute the build with the exact same requirements. This is where SRPM's come into play. Thus it is highly recommended you build from an SRPM instead of raw upstream sources.

First please read the FAQ entry concerning building from sources vs. In this circumstance there is an excellent chance configuration files were modified during the upgrade.

On that page will be a list of available freeradius RPM's, select the version you want to build. Click on the link for the version you want to build, this will take you to a page with all the information about that particular build including a list of the RPMS, one of those RPM's will be a source RPM e.

You want to download that SRPM. Alternatively you can get the spec file and the sources needed to build it from the Fedora CVS repository. This will populate several sub-directories under freeradius, each sub-directory is for a specific distribution release.

The "devel" sub-directory is the most current and is sometimes referred to as "rawhide". SRPM equivalent to what you might have downloaded from Koji. The RPM package builder, rpmbuild, expects to find a particular directory structure containing the following sub-directories under a root directory:. However, this guide will assume the default values are in use. The default root rpm directory gets created when you install the rpm-build package.

You're going to need rpmbuild which is contained in the rpm-build package so if you don't have rpm-build installed yet now is the time to do it:. We don't want to run as root unless we need to and there is seldom a reason you need to be root to build a package installing the built packages is another story.

So one of the first things I do is give normal users write and execute permissions for the directories under the root, you can do that this way:. Now you can perform your builds as a normal user. This installs the spec file and all files necessary to perform the rpm build under the root, in other words those files are the "payload" of the SRPM, for example:.

When rpmbuild runs the rpm spec file will direct it to run certain commands, link against specific libraries, etc. This means those commands, libraries, etc. The spec file lists what it needs in order to perform the build by enumerating a list of rpm packages under the BuildRequires: tag. Every package listed in the BuildRequires must be present, if not the rpmbuild command will immediately fail. There is utility tool which will help you, it's called yum-builddep and it's contained in the yum-utils package.

If you don't have yum-utils installed then install it now:. The yum-builddep tool is passed a src rpm on the command line, it then scans the BuildRequires and builds a list of packages required to build our package, if any of the necessary packages are not installed it will install them for you, e.

However yum-builddep does not currently know how to handle conditional BuildRequires and will sometimes incorrectly include or exclude a BuildRequires. This may force you do install your build dependencies manually, or you may prefer a manual process.

For example at the time of this writing the perl-devel package is only available on Fedora and is not available in RHEL5. However yum-buliddep fails to recognize on RHEL this dependency is conditionally excluded and yum-builddep will exit with an error like this:.

In this case yum-builddep is not your friend and you'll just have to manually install the build dependencies. The manual process is straightforward. To discover what build dependencies you might be missing run rpmbuild, if anything is missing it will list the missing packages and exit with an error.

Then use yum to install each package rpmbuild listed as missing. For example:. Now that all your build dependencies have been resolved in Step 3 you can perform the build using the rpmbuild command. You want to build everything so pass rpmbuild -ba command line arg, which stands for "build all". This will produce a lot of output. You might even want to redirect the output to a file so you can refer to it later if necessary.

You don't need to install all the subpackages, install only what you intend to use. If you intend to use the mysql backend make sure you install the freeradius-mysql rpm you just created. By the same token, if you don't plan on using MySQL then don't install the freeradius-mysql subpackage.

You'll always need at least the base freeradius package and the libs package, e. If you are missing a dependency then use yum to install the missing package s. Normally you can't update just one subpackage because there are dependencies between subpackages and the main package. In this case you'll need to update all the packages at once by passing the name of all freeradius packages currently installed on the command line to "rpm -Uhv", this causes everything to be updated in lockstep.

The best way to handle this is to determine what freeradius packages are currently installed because you will have to update all the installed packages at once. This tell us at the minimum we have to update the packages freeradius, freeradius-python, freeradius-mysql, freeradius-ldap, freeradius-utils, and freeradius-libs all together at once. Thus the rpm upgrade command would look like this:.

If figuring out what has to be simultaneously updated, including any missing dependencies, seems onerous then you're right. Modify the IP address as needed, enter a unique secret for each AP, and optionally enter a descriptive name. The secret and shortname are tabbed over one, and the values are also aligned with tabs.
