Issue with disconnection between radsecproxy client and freeradius server

Understood, thanks.

What is the reason that it is not recommended to set the idle_timouet to 0?
If clients such as radsecproxy are not expecting to have to reconnect every
30 seconds, it's conflicting I guess on what practice is best/expected.

Out of interest do you know any other lightweight radsec clients that would
be good for embedded devices such as openwrt? The freeradius package
itself, just to use as a radsec client, would be too large in size and
mostly wasted if not using it as a server etc..

Thanks
