BUGS

0.INTRODUCTION

  The FreeRADIUS web site is at <URL: http://www.freeradius.org>, and
  most information referenced in this document can be found there.

  This is primarily for non-developers of the FreeRADIUS server. If you are
  able to patch the code to work correctly, then we invite you to join the
  development list to discuss it. If you're the type who know little about
  how to code, then this is the place for you!

1.YOU FOUND A BUG

  So you think you've found a bug in the FreeRADIUS server?

  You should first discuss it on the users list, to see if anyone can
  reproduce it. Often there's a simple explanation of why the server
  behaves as it does, and it's not necessarily a bug in the code, so
  browse the lists' archives of the last two months, and if you don't
  see messages about it, ask!

  If the behavior is correct but confusing, we think that's a bug too, and
  you should file a bug against our documentation.

  For more information about the users list, the lists' archives and the
  faq, please visit http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
  Please make sure to READ and RESPECT the house-rules. You will get much
  better response and much faster if you do!

2.CORE DUMPS

  If the server, or one of the accompyaning programs core dumps, then
  you should rebuild the server as follows:

  $ ./configure --enable-developer
  $ make
  $ make install

  and then run the program again. You may have to to enable core
  dumps, via:

  $ ulimit -c unlimited

  When it core dumps, do:

  $ gdb /path/to/executable /path/to/core/file

  And then in 'gdb', do:

  $ bt

  Copy the output, and mail it to the list, along with the name of the
  program you were running, and the name of the operating system.
  Without this information, it's impossible for anyone to know why the
  program core dumped.

  You can also submit the information to the bug database at:

    http://bugs.freeradius.org/

  Submitting it to the bug database ensures that the bug report won't
  get forgotten, and that someone will eventually respond to it.
