I updated my server from 2.0.x to 2.1.4 and found out that the rlm_perl config now resides in the /module directory. I noticed that the following directives : max_clones = 10 start_clones = 5 min_spare_clones = 1 max_spare_clones = 5 max_request_per_clone = 100 for perl were not present in the file after the compiling. Are these directives obsolete? Also, in my perl script I make use of the CLONE function that according to the wiki is the ideal place to initialize database handlers. This seemed to work fine for the last 2 years with 1.x and 2.0.x freeradius. Using the parameters above and the CLONE function I could see 10 connections to my mysql server from the moment radiusd was up. When I migrated to 2.1.x the CLONE function seems to be called only after the first radius packet arrives (which is not an issue really). But when I check my connections to the mysql server there seems to be only one...! Was the behavior of rlm_perl altered in any way? I want to have multiple instances of rlm_perl so that I can connect to different databases simultaneously and spread the load. -- ------------------------------------------- Apostolos Pantsiopoulos Kinetix Tele.com R & D email: regs@kinetix.gr -------------------------------------------
