Hi, I'm currently using squid 2.5 stable 6 (I know it's old but it works and isn't the root of the problem!). Am using squid_radius_auth against out RADIUS server. When the authenticators start, everything works OK but after a while (certainly less than 6 hours), the authenticator accepts any credentials! I've performed a packet capture and can see the RADIUS request and the response from the RADIUS server giving Access-Reject but the authenticator returns OK! The following is an strace of the authenticator process: 10:34:55 read(0, "aaa aaa\n", 1024) = 8 10:36:22 time(NULL) = 1180949782 10:36:22 send(4, "\1\0\0005f\330^\\lZ\106\16\305\271\10\0214UK\30\1\5aaa\2\22\311\215\264\3640\235|\347\2760ooH\27AR\5\6\1\0\0o\4\6\302\251!\n", 55, 0) = 55 10:36:22 select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 1 (in [4], left {1, 0}) 10:36:22 recvfrom(4, "\2\0\0>\330\256J\36\5U\334D\364S\315u\1\3153T\7\6\0\0\0\1\11\6\337\377\377\376\n\6\0\0\0\0\33\6\0\1R\100\34\6\0\0\16\20\35\6\0\0\0\0\6\6\0\0\0\2", 8192, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1645), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.0.1")}, [16]) = 62 10:36:22 write(2, "Warning: Received invalid reply digest from server\n", 51) = 51 10:36:22 write(1, "OK\n", 3) = 3 As you can see, there's a 'Warning: Received invalid reply digest from server' message. Performing a 'squid -k reconfigure' restarts the authenticators and the authentication works as expected and there are no warnings present. When the warnings start the authenticator starts accepting any credentials! Any advice would be appreciated.
