Hi, I finally was able to catch thecrash which I see very intermittently with 3.0.10. Today, it happened in a sequence every some 30 seconds; apparently a continued authentication attempt by one user always triggered the fatal code path. After switching runtime perms to root/root, gdb actually worked and provided a backtrace. I'm attaching the gdb session log. I see EAP sub-module failed, and EAP-pwd, so I think it's got to be in that area. I also configured the system to dump a core. As soon as I find it on the filesystem, I can send it off-list to a developer who cares about it :-) Greetings, Stefan Winter -- Stefan WINTER Ingenieur de Recherche Fondation RESTENA - Réseau Téléinformatique de l'Education Nationale et de la Recherche 2, avenue de l'Université L-4365 Esch-sur-Alzette Tel: +352 424409 1 Fax: +352 422473 PGP key updated to 4096 Bit RSA - I will encrypt all mails if the recipient's key is known to me http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xC0DE6A358A39DC66
