Description Nathan G. Grennan 2012-01-14 20:09:20 UTC

Description of problem:
"systemctl start radiusd.service" hangs, and /var/log/messages says "systemd[1]: PID file /var/run/radiusd/radiusd.pid not readable (yet?) after start.". /lib/systemd/system/radiusd.service says "PIDFile=/var/run/radiusd/radiusd", but it is /var/run/radiusd/radiusd.pid on the filesystem.

I fixed it for myself by changing 
/lib/systemd/system/radiusd.service to say "PIDFile=/var/run/radiusd/radiusd.pid"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
freeradius-2.1.12-2.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install freeradius
2. systemctl start radiusd.service
3.
  
Actual results:
Service starts but systemctl hangs

Expected results:
Service starts but systemctl doesn't hang
