Hello, i am new to radius and not very good with linux networking and i was wondering if anyone would be able to point me into the right direction with the problem that i am having.

i have a radius server with about 120 users connecting on adsl, i am using free-radius-1.0.0 and a mysql database for Auth and accouting information. The Radius server and mysql database are running on the same machine under redhat linux, running a p4 3ghz 512mb ram.

The machine is rebooted every morning, this triggers each of the adsl routers at the remote adsl users sites to reboot. As the server reloads the radius server is started as a service and all of the 120 users attempt to login, These loggins all come in together and the radius server authenticated each user and sets up the routing etc for each user. The problem that i am having is that i get two auth's shown in the radius log file, for the user/site that fails (these auths pass). The user is logged in and has been assigned the correct ip addresses and routing, but the radius radwho does not see the user as logged in, The details log for the requests come in, only shows a single stop packet, no start packets.

This is a strange problem that i am seeing, probbably to do with overloading on the connection of all the sites at one single time (all sites proccessed in a few seconds).

Would anyone with any knowlege of radius configuration under linux be able to point me to any minor things to check/tweak to stop this from happening.


Thanks.
Andy
