We have a odd problem on one of our FreeRadius servers : ... Mon Mar 9 13:40:30 2009 : Error: WARNING: Unresponsive child (id 104) for request 2604 (in component authenticate module rlm_pam)
PAM is blocking the server.
When this problem occur, then no radius authentication. After a few seconds radius is working as it should. We are observing this problem ca 2 or 4 times each hour.
Use something other than PAM. FreeRADIUS is only as good as the libraries it depends on. If the library shuts down the server for 20-30 seconds, then the problem is in the LIBRARY, and not in the server. Alan DeKok.
