Yeah, I don't think you'll have any problem. In our development environment (Solaris 9 on a V240) I've had freeRADIUS with an openLDAP backend (500,000 users in LDAP) handling close to 500 authentication requests per second. The limiting factor in that case was my client software, which could only handle one request at a time. So in this case I don't believe I was fully taking advantage of the servers multiple client threads and multiple connections to the LDAP database.
Only time I've seen freeRADIUS crash was when I had bugs in one of my custom modules. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alan DeKok Sent: Wednesday, 8 December 2004 4:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Experience of use "Neil Craig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Can anyone who has Freeradius running in a production environment > comment on how stable it is with 100's (1000's?) of users?

FreeRADIUS is one of the fastest RADIUS servers out there, even when looking at commercial servers. FreeRADIUS is fast enough that any problems of the server being "slow" are usually a result of it depending on a slow database. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
