[Pkg-freeradius-maintainers] Bug#992321: freeradius isn't creating a PID file

[Bernhard Schmidt]

Hi,

I haven't tested it, but I think it's expected

On systemd systems Freeradius is started with

ExecStart=/usr/sbin/freeradius -f $FREERADIUS_OPTIONS

So it runs in foreground (-f). There is an option that says

  -f            Run as a foreground process, not a daemon.
  -P            Always write out PID, even with -f.

so I would try to add "-P" to FREERADIUS_OPTIONS /etc/default/freeradius.
