I am running radpwtst on the same machine recursively with a simple bash 
script, which does a correct query. Radiator authenticates using AuthBy 
TEST. Until I stop it. 

 

This is before the script is run: 

ps auxw | egrep 'CPU|radiusd' 

USER        PID  %CPU  %MEM  VSZ  RSS  TT  STAT  STARTED  TIME COMMAND 

radiusd     2202  0.1  0.6  8156 7760  p0  S+    6:34PM   0:01.08 

/usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/radiusd -config_file ./test.cfg 

 

And after the script is finished (a few hundred querys): 

radiusd     2202  0.7  0.7 10196 9756  p0  S+    6:34PM   0:07.74 
/usr/local/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/radiusd -config_file ./test.cf 

Note the difference in size and resident set size values. If the server and 
client are left to run longer, it will be so large that it will need to be 
restarted. I can do this automatically with daemontools, but it is not a 
fix. 

This is not due a to a module load, since even on the first query, the 
process does not jump megabytes in size. 

Thanks.
