SRU Report for freeradius
Bug Impact: calling the "reload" init script action for freeradius results in killing the daemon.
Affected supported releases: hardy. The bug in LSB has been introduced between gutsy and hardy.
Development branch fix: LSB has been fixed in intrepid so that killproc correctly transmits signals.
Minimal patch: see attached
TEST CASE: $ sudo apt-get install freeradius [...] $ pidof freeradius 5124 $ sudo /etc/init.d/freeradius reload * Reloading configuration files for FreeRADIUS daemon... $ pidof freeradius $ Freeradius should be running after the reload.
Regression potential discussion: This update only impacts the reload action of the freeradius init script, which is currently completely broken.
