Hi,       I ve not edited any configuration files. I m just using this radius-server on the switch for authentication. i m buliding it without these modules :                  --without-rlm_attr_filter --without-rlm_digest \                   --without-rlm_expr --without-rlm_krb5 --without-rlm_pam --without-rlm_preprocess \                   --without-rlm_sim_files --without-rlm_unix \                   --without-rlm_cram --without-rlm_fastusers --without-rlm_python --without-rlm_smb \                   --without-rlm_x99_token --without-rlm_acct_unique \                   --without-rlm_example --without-rlm_passwd --without-rlm_radutmp \                   --without-rlm_sql --without-rlm_always --without-rlm_checkval --without-rlm_detail \                   --without-rlm_exec --without-rlm_ippool --without-rlm_dbm --without-rlm_ns_mta_md5                   --without-rlm_perl --without-rlm_realm --without-rlm_sqlcounter  --without-threads                           --without-rlm_eap_ikev2   --without-rlm_eap_tnc does authentication rate depend on the speed of the processor and all..?? bcoz normally when i run the radius server in my unix box it is pretty fast. but when i run it on a switch it is slow. i m not able to do the performance testing also on my unix system. it show " invalid shell [/dev/null]" how do i add "/dev/null" to /etc/shells?? when i give cat /etc/shells it shows nothing.
