color=#0000ff size=2>We had a system using Ciscosecure ACS that wrote the
accounting records to textfiles in a directory. A perl script using Dirwatch
monitored the directory and triggered a stored procedure in oracle which
inserted the data. If oracle wasn't available, the data just accumulated. Once
oracle was up again, the queue was processed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

replica on the radius box. It can continue to insert records until the main
oracle DB returns, and processed the replication queue.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>We have configured our radius servers to send accounting
information to an Oracle database. It works our really well except when the
oraclce database server isn’t available (I.E. maintenance or cold backups).
The radius process dies when it loses connectivity to the oracle server. Has
anyone else noticed this problem? Any suggestions on how to make radiusd more
robust and able to recover from this?<o:p></o:p></P>
