(RADIATOR) Proxied requests with forking ->lockup

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Carsten -

You should not be using Fork and Synchronous.

Instead, you should be using a ReplyHook in the AuthBy RADIUS clause.

There is an example that shows exactly how to do this in 
"goodies/hooks.txt".

regards

Hugh

NB:

Have you read the reference manual ("doc/ref.html")?
Have you searched the mailing list archive 
(www.open.com.au/archives/radiator)?
Have you had a quick look on Google (www.google.com)?
Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
