hi, the recent post mentioning Auth-Type = System reminded me.... if I've got a Auth-Type = Reject int he users file, then when making a request with a remote RADIUS client, then the request times out when freeradius is running as a normal process daemon... on Fedora, this is running as a service with the '-y' option... however, this timeout is variable..and sometimes...just sometimes it works.
however, when running freeradius is debug mode, with -X, the Reject reply message is pretty fast...though still a lot slower than an Access-Accept message for a valid user - even though the valid user is in a database or a kerberos check. I assumed that a Auth-Type := Reject was an instant hit, with no further procedures... why then, when run in debug mode, does FreeRADIUS happily reject the client request but when run as a normal process, it throws the request towards other Auth mechanisms? alan - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
