Weird. I'm running on Kernel 2.6, on Debian, (on PPC, although I've a only rarely used i386 test server at home with libc6-i686) and I've not seen any semaphores lock up. Mind you, I converted Exec-Program-Wait to rlm_exec a while ago, as it's a much cleaner solution to my mind. Try chaning to using rlm_exec, and if that fixes the problem, then the issue is near _that_ semaphore, and the best solution may be to either find out what NPTL's doing differently (signal handling I suspect) and fix/work-around it, or just deprecate Exec-Program-Wait after 1.0.0. -- Paul "TBBle" Hampson, on an alternate email client. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
