Re: [Help-gnu-radius] Radius dies

[Ciprian Nica]

Hello again,

I have applied the patch and recompiled gnu-radius-0.96 as you said. It 
seemed to work fine ... but ... only for about an hour.
I don't know what triggers this error but after an hour of no errors it 
started again to report

I keep getting lots of exit on signal 11, one or even more (4-5) lines 
for every other line in the radius.log file.

Do you have any idea of the reason for this problem ? I have about 15 
NAS-es which are ASCEND TNT MAX, CISCO AS5400, CISCO AS5300, and several 
CISCO 3640. The maximum number of simultaneous users is about 1000 but 
the problem appeared at a time when there were only about 200 connected.

Does anyone have an idea ? Should I test also freeradius ? Is it 
possible that gnu-radius can not handle so many connections ? Which 
radius server do you recommend ?

Thank you very much,
Ciprian Nica
