Re: (RADIATOR) Stop Responding
Hugh, Think i keyed onto the problem already, so im goign to hold off. The one change that has been made was to start limited simultaneous usage, with DBM and with BayFinger as the NasTYPE. I believe the fingers were backing up, or slow to respond and were the culprit. After switching to Bay, (snmp version), its run consitantly overnight and thismorning on the problem server. The one other possibilty is the 10bT link between the 2 radius servers, sharinf an NFS link to the SessionDatabase file, perhaps a file locking problem. The computer having the problems is the one with the actual local file however, so i wouldnt think its nfs access time problems, as that would show on the other serer that actually has to write to the file over the network. If it continues to behave strangely ill send over the configs requested.

RE: (RADIATOR) Stop Responding
Have you considered a diffrent database? We run 5 radius servers off one database with no issues. -Original Message- From: Ron Hensley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2000 7:38 AM To: Hugh Irvine Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: (RADIATOR) Stop Responding Hugh, Think i keyed onto the problem already, so im goign to hold off.

I would be very suspicious of running a shared DBM session database over NFS. Radiator does not lock the DBM file, so problems are almost guaranteed. I would strongly suggest that you use an SQL session database instead. regards Hugh -- Radiator: the most portable, flexible and configurable RADIUS server anywhere.

(RADIATOR) Stop Responding
Ive had a strange occurance today on one of my radius servers. It just stops responding though its still running after being up no more then 5 minutes. Stopped/Started many times, a few times with trace level 4 for heavy debug info. Nothing... just stops apparantly in the middle of logging someone in. Its been working fine for the week ive been using it. At one point i noticed my server getting slow as well, and TOP showed the radiusd taking up 25% CPU resources.
