Hi..

Are we allowed to open sockets inside a module and communicate with other programs. If not then how else can we communicate with other network programs..

I can't see why not. I have one module that I tested that used pipes to move the actual updating of a sql database outside the radius server. It worked just fine. The performance improvement wasn't enough to justify doing that on a production server though.
