I am running freeradius-2.1.6 with all AAA logick hidden in perl module, thus using rlm_perl.
Having about 1000-10000 client connections per day radiusd consumes about 1Gb of memory per day (I restart it daily).
The only (possibly) important thing - I am using several external modules in my main perl module.
Perl's garbage collector isn't perfect. It may be that you really do need to restart to get memory cleaned up.
At the end of the request handling function, it might be work getting your script to look at how much memory it has consumed[1] and then commit Seppuku; hopefully FreeRADIUS is primed to notice the suicide and restart the perl module from scratch. A trivial fix, but if you have long running state information you might need to do some reworking to move some data into a DB file or something (*not* an SQL database...please :) Cheers [1] http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=115098 -- Alexander Clouter .sigmonster says: Beware of a tall black man with one blond shoe.
