Could you NOT CC me on messages to the list?  I subscribe, and I read
the messages.

 And fix your mailer.  I saw a *large* number of duplicates.

   - user (an authentication binary program -         Exec-Program-Wait
= "/usr/local/sbin/auth -- %{User-Name} %{User-Password}
%{%{Called-Station-Id}:-Missing} %{%{NAS-IP-Address}:-Missing}
%{%{Calling-Station-Id}:-Missing} %{%{NAS-Port-Type}:-Missing}
%{Vendor-Specific}" ,)

   -acct_user (shell script - Exec-Program =
"%{exec:/usr/local/sbin/acctstop.sh}", )
and
   -attr_rewrite module (a hex translation binary -  replacewith =
"%{exec:/usr/local/sbin/hexconvert -lX %{User-Name} }")

Is this bad?
Is there a better alternative?


Thanks so much!

 Are you forking shell scripts via "exec"?

radius-b and radius-c don't have more than a single radiusd process.

Any idea what is going on?  Why all the children?  Do I need to be
concerned?  Is this normal?

 It's not normal.  They're likely zombies that need to go away.  The
server normally cleans up any zombie children, but...
