well,

since some time we have some problems with radius, process dies just 
like that (on one server) and on the other stops responding.

let's pick the one that dies:
db:~# dpkg -s freeradius
Package: freeradius
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: net
Installed-Size: 1604
Maintainer: Stephen Gran <sgran at debian.org>
Architecture: i386
Version: 2.0.4+dfsg-6
Provides: radius-server

last night, after when I had a problem:
Apr 17 21:14:17: %PPAL2-3-PPPOE_ERR: 
a593028b/0002524333/907900000:02/IPPA/EU00:Failed to allocate memory for 
pppoe throttle node -
0004c20c 0009ae08 0004bee4 0009036e 00098138 00098110 00000000

I did a reload of card #2.
So - all subscribers (pppoe and clips) went down.


After reload all I had a little storm of auth requests.. and - I had to 
start freeradius about 20 times for ~900subcribers (It's just start of 
moving subscribers to redback so - not too much).

Did anyone had such problems and what could help on freeradius side ?

Or - which radius working with postgresql would you recommend ?

Regards,
Marcin
