gethostbyname_r is the threadsafe version, which is not present in *BSD (some of them...). > Just straight answers, no feeble excuses for not answering or flames. There is always the possibility to add a mutex locking fallback version to libradius... perhaps I'll write one this weekend. The lock is really short, so it should hurt not too much. On my servers I got up to five faults per hour (this means: detail got written to the wrong path). But this depends on how loaded your servers get...
