--- Begin Message ---Package: freeradius Version: 1.0.2-4sarge3 Severity: important Hi, I'm running freeradius from Sarge in almost the default configuration, the only exception beeing GDBM mode for users file access. There are some hundred users in the file and two Cisco NAS query the server. Every now and then, typically when a lot of queries come in at once (e.g. after a network outage or when clearing all PPPoE sessions), the daemon stops answering requests and starts to eat up all available CPU cycles. It seems to hang purely in user mode, strace doesnt list any further system calls. The only way to resolve the problem is manual SIGKILL and restart of the daemon. I've searched the net a bit but seemingly this problem is not very widespread. I assume it could be the use of the dbm backend, as today mostly MySQL or LDAP backends seem to be in use. If it is of any help, I'd try to run the daemon in file mode instead of dbm mode, but it's hard to qualify if the bug has gone (as in normal operations here, it happens approximately once every two months and triggering it would require creating artifical network outages). Have there been any similar reports for the Sarge freeradius at all? -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.15.1 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages freeradius depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-2 GNU dbm database routines (runtime ii libltdl3 1.5.6-6 A system independent dlopen wrappe ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l -- no debconf information TIA, Andre. -- The _S_anta _C_laus _O_peration or "how to turn a complete illusion into a neverending money source" -> Andre Beck +++ ABP-RIPE +++ IBH Prof. Dr. Horn GmbH, Dresden <-
