I had a problem with radius choking on a failed assertion (probably sth to do with high load on the server, that is, the physical computer, not the radius server). As recommended (https://lists.freeradius.org/pipermail/freeradius-users/2007-August/065179.h...), I upgraded to version 1.1.7, and the problem went away. Now, yesterday I added a second realm into proxy.conf (I used to have only the NULL realm). Last night:
Did you HUP the server, or re-start it?
--/var/log/radius/radius.log-- Wed Aug 29 04:01:39 2007 : Error: Assertion failed in request_list.c, line 355 --end sample--
And the server snuffed. Any ideas?
Don't HUP the server. The exact error indicates a failure in the internal sanity of the data structures. You COULD change the assert to "if (!node) return;", but that would just mask the problem. The server would likely assert somewhere else. 2.0.0-pre2 has all of this code completely re-written. It's simpler, easier to understand, and should be much more stable. Alan DeKok.
