test environment up that uses an S4 server for EAP-MSCHAPv2). But at
least it exists on RHEL/CentOS as a package.
it can also BE an AD master etc.  anyway, you dont know how tempting
it was to "yum install samba4" on our production system;-)

I'd certainly like to see some samba3.x versus samba4 benchmarks in
this sort of context

This morning I upgraded a couple of our radius servers from samba 3.6.9
to 4.0.0-rc4. It works, but it's not yet clear how much of an
improvement it makes. Early indication is that it helps spread the load
more evenly between domain controllers at peak times, but it is by no
means the magic bullet.

I am wondering if using ntlm_auth in pipe mode, in the same way Squid does, would improve this, as it would avoid fork&exec. I might try and knock up a PoC patch.
