[Bug 252686] Re: Reload action on init script kills daemon

[Thierry Carrez]

SRU Report for freeradius

Bug Impact: calling the "reload" init script action for freeradius
results in killing the daemon.

Affected supported releases: hardy. The bug in LSB has been introduced
between gutsy and hardy.

Development branch fix: LSB has been fixed in intrepid so that killproc
correctly transmits signals.

Minimal patch: see attached

TEST CASE:
$ sudo apt-get install freeradius
[...]
$ pidof freeradius
5124
$ sudo /etc/init.d/freeradius reload
 * Reloading configuration files for FreeRADIUS daemon...
$ pidof freeradius
$
Freeradius should be running after the reload.

Regression potential discussion:
This update only impacts the reload action of the freeradius init script, which is currently completely broken.
