Package: freeradius Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
a failing freeradius startup is repeated indefinitely, the unit never ever reaches the FAILED state. This makes it harder than necessary to see that there is a problem. freeradius.service sets Restart=on-failure RestartSec=5 and in Debian, the defaults for DefaultStartLimitIntervalSec=10s DefaultStartLimitBurst=5 are usually in place via /etc/systemd/system.conf. This means that freeradius is restarted every 5s, but it would have to be restarted 5 times in 10s to be marked FAILED. I suggest setting StartLimitIntervalSec=30s in freeradius.service, so that restarts will be aborted and the unit marked as failed if it is being restarted more than 5 times in 30s. You may want to make that 60s. Does that make sense? Florian
