Extract Information

Once you have a core dump loaded into gdb, or FreeRADIUS running under gdb, you may use the commands below to get useful information about the state of the server.

If the server was built with threads, you can do:

(gdb) info threads

Which will give you information about the threads. If the server isn’t threaded, that command-line will print a message saying so.

Then, do:

(gdb) thread apply all bt full

If the server isn’t threaded, the thread apply section isn’t necessary

The output should be printed to the screen, and also sent to the gdb-radiusd.log file.

Submit the information from the log file, along with any log output files, the output of radiusd -xv, and the required information about your environment to the GitHub FreeRADIUS Issues page.

Submit all the required logs and relevant information with your Issue Defect Report.

Submitting it to the bug database ensures that the bug report won’t get forgotten, and that it will be dealt with in due course.

You should provide the issue number in any mail sent to the user’s list.
