Fwd: Child is hung (max_request)

[srithar jeevadurai]

Hi Alan,

Thanks a lot for your response.

May I know the patch link to apply for Radius version 2.2.1.?

if I download latest stable version and rebuild the server (using our
customized rlm module) then would that not required to apply patch?

May I know latest stable version of FreeRadius (3.0.5 or 2.2.6) and the bug
free ?
