I've been having the same problem for quite some time.
I'm currently running FreeRADIUS 2.1.10 on i386 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE. Accounting packets are written file + two extra detail logs which are proxied.
For me I think this "Exiting normally" problem started happening after upgrading FreeBSD from either 7.x to 8 or 6.x to 7.x. It's been happening for over a year now. Sometimes it happens three times a day and sometimes it runs fine for a month. This accounts for the last two months:

I don't see any system in the behaviour. It happens at random hours. This is a secondary server, so the number of accounting requests per day varies between 0 and 20000, whereas on a normal day it serves around 100.
If nobody has a clue what might cause this behaviour, perhaps somebody is willing to support me/us in debugging this!
I've not had any issues with FreeRADIUS on FreeBSD 7 since version 2.0ish. Around 2.0 FreeRADIUS ate memory and would be killed when the box ran out of swap. That was a known bug in FreeRADIUS and since I upgraded beyond the fix for that, no problems. What is logged in the 3 or 4 hundred lines before the exits? Any pattern in those messages? What is logged in /var/log/messages at those times? -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org
