Last week I reported an issue I had with FreeRadius 1.0.5 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 3. It had to do with dropped MySQL connections. We continue experience severe problems with FreeRadius. The server will run for upwards to 8 hours, sometimes more, before getting into some unknown state where it stops responding to requests. At this time FreeRadius consumes all the system's cpu cycles and won't stop without a kill -9. We are also running radrelay which relays to another port on the same server. The mysql database (version 4.0.26) is local to the server where FreeRadius resides. Please if you have any ideas or suggestions please pass them along. Otherwise we may be forced to fall back on another approach. I can happily send more detail if needed but there's potentially a lot and I didn't want to overwhelm the list... Thanks in advance for your ideas. From the log, here is the basic pattern: Many of these...
