Hi all, As per the subject, I have found the following interesting behaviour with freeradius 1.1.6 When running the server in normal mode or in debug level 1 mode : radiusd -y or radiusd -y -x (lowercase x) When sending an access request, the server pauses for a few seconds somewhere in the exec part of the authorize section. When running the server in more verbose debug mode : Radiusd -y -X (uppercase X) This pause does not occur. I am using exec to run external authentication, and would have thought it was my script causing the pause, but it does not appear when running with -X Anybody else experience something like this?
