Hey all,

We have a radius server running on 4 cpu machine with 4GB ram.

Now frequently the machine gets a load of 20, of radiusd, and in the log the
message : Dropping packet : Maximum number of children active

I have tried to increase the number of child processes, but then radius
crashes (if I go above 20) frequently.
I have looked, and io is it also not.
Our network is also not the problem.
I tried so rais the ulimit -n but also no resolution.
Date and time are also correct synced
Iptables is open on the needed ports

Really I don't know what to do next, can anyone please help me?

We are running it on CentOS 5.2 with all updates installed
Radius version is 1.5
