FreeRADIUS running out of file descriptors??

[Stefan Paetow]

Hi, 

Alan, Arran, have you ever seen FreeRADIUS run out of file descriptors? One of our pilot sites reported this this evening:

Tue Mar 24 02:15:02 2015 : Info:  ... adding new socket auth from
client (127.0.0.1, 44084) -> (*, 2083, virtual-server=abfab-idp)
Tue Mar 24 02:15:02 2015 : Error: Failed opening proxy socket 'proxy
(0.0.0.0, 0) -> home_server (212.219.179.131, 2083)' : Failed in
connect(): No route to host
Tue Mar 24 02:15:02 2015 : Error: Failed to insert request into the
proxy list
Tue Mar 24 02:15:07 2015 : Info:  ... shutting down socket auth from
client (127.0.0.1, 44084) -> (*, 2083, virtual-server=abfab-idp)
Tue Mar 24 02:20:01 2015 : Info:  ... adding new socket auth from
client (127.0.0.1, 44086) -> (*, 2083, virtual-server=abfab-idp)
Tue Mar 24 02:20:02 2015 : Error: Failed opening proxy socket 'proxy
(0.0.0.0, 0) -> home_server (212.219.179.131, 2083)' : Failed finding
socket, caller must allocate a new one
Tue Mar 24 02:20:02 2015 : Error: Failed to insert request into the
proxy list
Tue Mar 24 02:20:07 2015 : Error: FATAL failure opening /dev/null: Too
many open files

I know it's just a short snippet, but is this at all helpful? This was a standard Moonshot IdP with a 'ping' every 5 minutes for around what... 2 weeks (since we resolved that socket proxy loss)...

Anything you want me to try other than suggesting to my pilot site to run valgrind?

Thanks very much :-)
