FreeRadius uses threads by default, which is what I assume you're 
seeing. I suspect the solaris/debian (ugh!) system is showing you each 
thread as a distinct entry in the process list, whereas the linux/debian 
is just showing one.

Linux 2.6 kernels show threaded processes as one thread by default. You 
can use "ps auxm" to show the threads in this case - the "-" processes 
after the main one are the threads. Does this show them?

Alternatively you've compiled them differently and the one on 
linux/debian has threading disabled.
