I have freeeradius 2.1.1. It is configured to do accounting to MySQL server. At the time of starting the freeradius server if the MySQL server is not available the freeradius server waits for about 3 minutes before starting in debug mode. This is too much time in a real environment. Is there a way to overcome this delay?

Ensure that the MySQL server is running before FreeRADIUS starts. But there's nothing in the code which says "wait 3 minutes to connect to MySQL". When I run similar tests, it starts up immediately, even if the MySQL server is down. Alan DeKok.
