Subject: Propre forking in Custom AuthBy
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hello,
I'm new to this list so please bear with me if I'm verbose. I have a
customer AuthBy module that needs to do several SQL database accesses
and will definitely be slow, requiring a process fork. I read in the
manual about using AuthGeneric::handlerFork, but I have an over-riding
version of handle_request and I guess that is why
the AuthGeneric::handlerFork could not be found. I put handlerFork in my
custom module and it seems to work in that it does create child
processes and eliminates them, most of the time. On my testing
environment where I'm only sending it one request at a time using the
radpwtst program, it performs wonderfully. However, in the production
environment where it is getting at least a request per second, after 10
or 15 minutes there are 50-75 defunt radius processes chewing up CPU and
memory. If I leave it for a couple of hours it will overrun the machine
and bring it down. Any suggestions?
Griff Hamlin, III
