[Bug-gnu-radius] Dropping packet maximum number of childs

[Bert Colemont]

Hey all,

 

We have a radius server running on 4 cpu machine with 4GB ram.

 

Now frequently the machine gets a load of 20, of radiusd, and in the log the message : Dropping packet : Maximum number of children active

 

I have tried to increase the number of child processes, but then radius crashes (if I go above 20) frequently.

I have looked, and io is it also not.

Our network is also not the problem.

I tried so rais the ulimit -n but also no resolution.

Date and time are also correct synced

Iptables is open on the needed ports

 

Really I don't know what to do next, can anyone please help me?

 

We are running it on CentOS 5.2 with all updates installed

Radius version is 1.5
