No one was on the box doing anything... I was looking into this issue with google and came across a thread back in Nov 2009 about an issue a user was experiencing with radiusd 2.1.8, 2.1.8 was released Dec 30 2009. But freeradius version numbers are usually updated early in the developement cycle. The code discussed in Nov 2009 was a development version between 2.1.7 and 2.1.8. IIRC the issue discussed was fixed well before the 2.1.8 release. 2.1.8 was very stable. and this user send some gdb dumps to the development team... I can't seem to recreate the issue as quickly as he does (plus my server is in production) but I didn't see any follow up if this is a known bug? Is this fixed in 2.1.10? There are lots of fixes in 2.1.10, which has been as stable as 2.1.8 was for us (2.1.9 was not...). I would have upgraded before investing any more time debugging the problem. Maybe even to current git, as 2.1.11 is really close according to Alan DeKok. It may not fix your problem, but at least it will make your debugging useful to the developers. 2.1.8 is getting sort of outdated. Bjørn - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
