Ok, that's helpful.
In studying this I have written a brief Perl script that will run
radtest repeatedly. The script pauses for half a second between tests.
Sometimes the script will successfully authenticate the same
username/password 127 times and sometimes it will run to 2,600
authentications. Eventually, it returns an invalid password.
This is a RedHat 9.0 box with all the updates installed. It has a single
933mhz Intel processor.
The threading in Radius is turned on with "start_servers" set to 5. Am I
supposed to be able to see 5 Radius processes when I so a "ps ax"? I only
see one and never see more than that.
We are using MySQL for accounting logging and nothing else.

I've never heard of that problem before. In the default
configuration of the server, it doesn't even parse the 'passwd' file.
It relies on the system getpwent() function do do that work.
