[Nagiosplug-devel] Help with creating a plugin to check RADIUS

[Thomas Guyot-Sionnest]

Effectively it is down.

I found this one from Debian:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/r/radiusclient/radiusclient_0.3.2.orig.tar.gz

I diff'ed it with my version, here's the only difference I came up with (This patch probably avoid some useless logging, it's well possible that I changed that myself...):

--- radiusclient-0.3.2/lib/log.c        1997-12-29 18:07:22.000000000 -0500
+++ ../radiusclient-0.3.2/lib/log.c    2006-03-07 10:22:49.000000000 -0500

     vsnprintf(buff, sizeof(buff), format, ap);

+//     syslog(prio, "%s", buff);
 }

Hi Thomas,

Would you have a link to radiusclient?

The only link I've been able to find is on freshmeat, and the FTP server
does not respond.
