Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

apt-get update /upgrade was run last night at around 10pm. This morning people are saying that they can't get into ftp and wifi because these services are auth'd by freeradius.

my $o_ldap = Net::LDAP->new($config{'database'}{'connection'}{'ldap'}{'dsn'});
$o_ldap->bind($config{'database'}{'connection'}{'ldap'}{'bind_dn'},

    logToRadius('error', '[ldap] Could not bind to server.');
    return;
}

Is it possible that some of the php5 upgrades that took place last night caused freeradius or ldap to break? How could I troubleshoot this incident and resolve? I don't have a snapshot of the server, and rolling back would be impossible because the server is in use constantly. Would it be possible to roll-back these updates only? I've made backups of /etc/freeradius/* and /var/vhosts/it/radius_auth/

  • I think it's because the server cannot resolve to our domain controller. when I try to ping our domain controller by name, it doesn't resolve.

  • Ok so we resolved this due to temp nameserver entries were not saved after a restart. In /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base I added: nameserver 10.x.x.x nameserver 10.x.x.x then ran resolvconf -u to have it update Restarted services, and the name resolved and the services started successfully.
