Core dumps

If the server (or one of the accompanying programs) core dumps, then you should rebuild the server as follows:

$ ./configure --enable-developer
$ make
$ make install

and then run the program again. You may have to to enable core dumps, via:

$ ulimit -c unlimited

When it core dumps, do:

$ gdb /path/to/executable /path/to/core/file

Enable logging in gdb via the following commands:

(gdb) set logging file gdb-radiusd.log
(gdb) set logging on

and follow the instructions in the Extract Information] section.

You can also enable the panic_action given in radiusd.conf. See the comments in that file for more details about automatically collecting gdb debugging information when the server crashes.
