Radius Error Warning Unresponsive Child

for request in module sqlcomponent accounting Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Hello all!! I facing this problem with my Freeradius 2.1.3, and I don't know how to solve it :( My NAS is sending only accounting registers to my freeradius server. My freeradius server, is configured to store these registers into a MySQL server. I have configured "max_request_time = 120", in the case of MySQL slow performance, but the problem perssits. My questions are: - how can I solve this issue? - When a child is unresponsive, the register is lost, or another child stores it into the database? Thx in advance.
