Hi there,

I may be mistaken but... these are log message on the NAS aren't they?
If this is the case, I've experienced similar behavior with Cisco VoIP routers (RADIUS Server DEAD and then... ALIVE). This happens if you haven't properly enabled concurrency in FreeRADIUS - the CPU usage stays low 0%-1%-2% but if the requests are many they are obviously waiting each other... This happens when you have stared FreeRADIUS with the -X key (I think it starts with a single thread then) or have too low values for the thread pool parameters (and/or the *_clones options of rlm_perl which are to be deprecated soon). If you configure proper values according to the expected usage (concurrent requests), then the request won't wait each other to finish while the CPU stays unused and you'll avoid this annoying message in your logs. A sure sing that something like that is going on is the Acct-Delay-Time parameter with values greater than 0 - that is for accounting not sure for auth etc. Anyways if the values of that parameter are high (they are in seconds I think) then the requests are waiting too long and hence the error messages.

Thanks in advance.


Have you checked the output of radiusd -X if there is a reason given or any other hint?
