[Help-gnu-radius] Help to decipher radius session dis-connects.

[Mendoza Carlos - cmendo]

Sergey,

It has been a while since we have requested some info from you and I
would like to recap how you assisted us in the
past.


We currently use GNU radius v1.5 running on a Linux server and using NIS
for userid and passwd authentication. Client users being routed from the
internet through a load balanced CheckPoint connectra server which
passes the call to one of two radius servers. The radius server is then
using NIS to authenticate via the NIS  from a NIS client server using
ypbind. The NIS password for all users currently use a passwd expiration
algorithm and you provided us a fix in a later release of GNU Radius.

We had not experienced any major issues until recently when client
connections are now being disconnected after about 20-30 minutes of an
established session. From the radius logs we have seen the following
messages appear and are wondering if these are radius generated messages
or system  and just reporting it to radius but not actually
disconnecting the users. 

Please let us know if there is anything within Radius that would be
issuing a disconnectin conjunction with NIS. We highly doubt this but
wanted to confirm with you.
