Hi

There was nothing wrong with the init setup before, the messages file
did not look this in the beginning. The configuration didn't change.
I just made a "fresh" installation and i assume that this message is
some kind of debug message, but i do not know where it comes from.
Meanwhile the Chilli access gateway works fine, but this messages are a
bit disturbing and i would like to get rid of it.

As with the recent Version 1.0.11 still shows problems with the Netgear
PoE switches (redirection works not) we use, we have to keep the 1.0.8
and
we cannot upgrade actually.

The asked for outputs are:

$ ps wax | grep chilli
  1737 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep chilli
  3923 ?        Ss     0:27 /usr/sbin/chilli --pidfile
/var/run/chilli.pid

$ ifconfig -a | grep tun
tun0      Link encap:UNSPEC  HWaddr  
00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00

Thank you for the assistance

Regards

Bruno

> As the chilli service hung, last Friday - the subscribers did receive
an IP address, but were no longer redirected to the login page, i tried
to restart the chilli service. But as chilli restart did not work, i
tried also out the following:  chilli restart; chilli condrestart;
chilli reload, as written wen just giving chilli and enter:
start|stop|restart|condrestart|status|reload|radconfig . After each of
them, the chilli seamed to be running, but the redirection only worked
after a restart of the whole server. After restarting, the chilli
service was up and the subscribers where redirected again, as usually,
but only submentioned messages appear.

The log that you attached suggests that you are starting dozens of
chilli instances at regular intervals, something must be wrong with your
init setup. First of all would you mind please upgrading to the latest
stable (1.0.11) and following the official installation procedure? Also,
as soon as you encounter problems, issue

ps wax |grep [c]hilli

and

ifconfig -a |grep tun

and send us the output which will help troubleshoot.
