Hello folks, We're running FreeRADIUS 0.8 on a Solaris 2.8 box, and we're planning to replace all our radius servers (old Livingston 1.16 and Lucent 2.1) with FreeRADIUS. Right now we've written some modules to replace the dedicated accounting servers, to start with.
Anyway, our problem is that - put under live traffic - the server (called Wedge) outputs an error every other minute or so. It receives about 20-25 requests per second, and this is what the log says: Tue Dec 10 15:30:55 2002 : Info: Listening on IP address *, ports 2000/udp and 2001/udp. Tue Dec 10 15:30:55 2002 : Info: Ready to process requests. Tue Dec 10 15:31:37 2002 : Error: Discarding new request from client dooku:1814 - ID: 10 due to live request 814 Tue Dec 10 15:32:51 2002 : Error: Discarding new request from client dooku:1814 - ID: 139 due to live request 1991 Tue Dec 10 15:32:53 2002 : Error: Discarding new request from client dooku:1814 - ID: 202 due to live request 1942 Tue Dec 10 15:34:20 2002 : Error: Discarding new request from client dooku:1814 - ID: 71 due to live request 3993 Tue Dec 10 15:35:27 2002 : Error: Discarding new request from client dooku:1814 - ID: 13 due to live request 6046 The server called "dooku" is a proxy receiving acct/auth packets (that one is also a FreeRADIUS 0.8) from ANOTHER server called XXXXX (radius server unknown), and on "dooku" the output is: Tue Dec 10 15:59:12 2002: Error: Dropping conflicting packet from client XXXXX - ID: 35 due to unfinished request 1893794 Tue Dec 10 15:59:12 2002: Error: Dropping conflicting packet from client XXXXX - ID: 37 due to unfinished request 1893796 Tue Dec 10 15:59:12 2002: Error: Dropping conflicting packet from client XXXXX - ID: 38 due to unfinished request ... lots of lines And then it says: Tue Dec 10 15:59:15 2002: Proxy: marking accounting server localhost:2001 for realm xxxx.yyyy.zz dead Tue Dec 10 15:59:15 2002: Proxy: marking accounting server palpatine:2001 for realm aaa.bb.cc dead it marks all "accounting" servers as dead, but localhost and palpatine are authentication servers, the accounting packets goes to our server Wedge. I have disabled all accounting modules, to limit the troubleshooting somewhat. What does "Discarding new request from client xxxx .. due to live request 123" exactly mean? it hasn't sent an response to request 123 yet? Anyone have a clue? / Thomas -- "Hard work often pays off after time, But laziness always pays off now." - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
