(RADIATOR) Tacacs spawning extra processes

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Matt -

We will need to see a copy of your configuration file and a trace 4  
debug showing what is happening.

We will also need to see a copy of your startup script and any other  
relevant information like process lists and so on.

Radiator will only start additional processes if configured to do so,  
such as by the use of "Fork". It is also possible that your startup  
script is doing this.

regards

Hugh

Have you included a copy of your configuration file (no secrets),
together with a trace 4 debug showing what is happening?
