Fedora 30: FEDORA-2019-4a8eeaf80e moderate: FreeRADIUS Log Rotation

fedora
Calendar Grey June 19, 2019
Dist Fedora Esm H88
A Fedora patch resolves problems related to systemd certificate creation and log management, leading to improved reliability and safety.
This fixes several issues with the systemd certificate generation and logrotation.

Summary

The FreeRADIUS Server Project is a high performance and highly configurable

GPL'd free RADIUS server. The server is similar in some respects to

Livingston's 2.0 server. While FreeRADIUS started as a variant of the

Cistron RADIUS server, they don't share a lot in common any more. It now has

many more features than Cistron or Livingston, and is much more configurable.

FreeRADIUS is an Internet authentication daemon, which implements the RADIUS

protocol, as defined in RFC 2865 (and others). It allows Network Access

Servers (NAS boxes) to perform authentication for dial-up users. There are

also RADIUS clients available for Web servers, firewalls, Unix logins, and

more. Using RADIUS allows authentication and authorization for a network to

be centralized, and minimizes the amount of re-configuration which has to be

done when adding or deleting new users.

This fixes several issues with the systemd certificate generation and

logrotation.
