I hope someone can shine a light on my problem with Freeradius 3 and mschap (running on centos7 with samba/winbind) So long story short, I notice that every ~5 minutes there is a problem with NTLM_AUTH. Even with testing with radtest -t mscahp at the same time, I get: ... Child PID 5238 is taking too much time: forcing failure and killing child.
This isn't a FreeeRADIUS issue. Something is blocking the script, and it's not FreeRADIUS. Fix whatever is blocking the script, and it will be fixed.
I know this may not be a radius issue, beause of the fact that in-between the system works as expected and the line: Child PID 5238 is taking too much time: forcing failure and killing child, but I have my hopes up someone can point me in the right direction.
It could be just about anything. Some other system crashes, transient network issues, etc.
On the backend there is a Windows AD, multiple DC (tried setting only 1 in samba, same issue), the server is domain joined. I have multiple servers with the same issue (in the same environment)
Look at the Samba logs to see what's going on. The ntlm_auth program basically just calls Samba. So if ntlm_auth doesn't return... blame Samba. And look at Samba to see what's happening.
What allso puzzles me, are the logs: Server 1: Fri May 28 14:35:27 2021 : ERROR: (59476) mschap_thor: ERROR: Failed to read from child output Fri May 28 14:35:31 2021 : ERROR: (59508) mschap_loki: ERROR: Failed to read from child output Fri May 28 14:35:35 2021 : ERROR: (59534) mschap_loki: ERROR: Failed to read from child output Fri May 28 14:40:03 2021 : ERROR: (60960) mschap_loki: ERROR: Failed to read from child output Fri May 28 14:40:08 2021 : ERROR: (60993) mschap_loki: ERROR: Failed to read from child output Fri May 28 14:40:12 2021 : ERROR: (61017) mschap_loki: ERROR: Failed to read from child output Fri May 28 14:40:14 2021 : ERROR: (61030) mschap_loki: ERROR: Failed to read from child output Fri May 28 14:40:15 2021 : ERROR: (61040) mschap_loki: ERROR: Failed to read from child output

It's like a blinker. One works, the other doesnt.
It's Samba and/or AD and/or some local networking issue. Alan DeKok.
