<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am runnning 2.1.6 on Redhat Linux (Red Hat

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=Arial>This server relays all records to an
identical server radius-b and radius-c</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Similarly radius-b relays its records
back to radius-a (except those from radius-a)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=Arial>radius-c is just for
testing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2 face=Arial>All relaying appears to be working
correctly.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>These server currently receiving accounting records only.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>radius-a seems to be getting the bulk of the radius
records. Normally, it has a single process.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Last night it spawned a bunch of children that seem to be
loitering... </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>radius-b and radius-c don't have more than a single radiusd
process.</DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr>Any idea what is going on? Why all the children? Do I
need to be concerned? Is this normal?</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>From the detail log, is seems that the message
rate increase to about 2000-2400/minute at that time for about 3 minutes, then
dropped to <1000/min.</FONT></DIV>
