Problem with CPU load
Hello, We have a debian server (debian 4.0 etch) running freeradius 1.1.7. We have compile it from debian source package, but including eap_tls and eap_ttls support. Our user repository is an LDAP server (openldap 2.3.30) running in another host. This radius server is a Xen virtual machine with 512MB of RAM. The problem we have is that sometimes it loads the CPU too much. An uptime of the host reports loads over 100 points and a 99% of CPU utilization. These loads last least than a minute, but during this minute, you can't authorize anybody. Any idea of what could be happening? -- Angel L.

The issue is that it's not clear what's happening, or why. The simplest thing I can suggest is to upgrade. Version 2.1.2 will be released either today or tomorrow, and contains a number of fixes over 2.1.1 that correct more corner cases where things might go wrong.
