We've been having an odd problem with Dr. Watson. The last 3 days instead
of popping up a dialog box, Dr. Watson takes 100 % of the CPU time and just
sits there. I'm not sure if this is caused by RadiusNT or not, but I
thought I'd check and see if anyone else has ever had this problem. It
doesn't pop up a dialog box like it does when you shutdown the SQL service
before shutting down Radius. Any ideas? I've stopped almost every process
except SQL and Radius, so I'm not sure what else to try.

Do you by chance have "FindFast" from Office 97 loaded on that system? We
were having the same problem until we removed it.
Try it and let us know!

What are the options for running a primary and secondary Emerald/RADIUS
setup? I need to have a fairly synchronized redundant secondary RADIUS
server before I commit to the Emerald product.
How are others doing it?

Make sure that RadiusNT and SQL have rights to interact with the
desktop (in service manager). If they don't, and one of them generate
a Dr Watson error, it does what you are describing. You will
probably still get the Dr. Watson, but at least it will write it's log
and not bring the cpu up to 100%.

Well, That's the problem! It's complaining about a dup key when there is
none.

Dale,
I have been using the text version of 2.2 RadiusNT for a while now. I have
put in a few user names longer than 8 characters and it has worked.
Can this cause problems down the line?
Thanks...

Mike,
We run RADIUS on another machine in text mode. A batch file on that
machine updates the text file from the main SQL server every 3 hours during
the day, so it's always current. The RADUSERS program from the Emerald site
is used to extract/create the text file.
Works for me, YMMV:

I think I've found the problem. The last auth in -x15 mode was for someone
with a username of 4 letters and about 50 spaces.
I seem to remember reading about something like that on the list several
months ago, I'll have to check the archive. I've removed this user, and if
it doesn't crash tomorrow, case closed. This is a serious bug! Does this
exist in 2.5? I'm getting ready to upgrade next week.
BTW, the Radius and SQL services already had rights to interact with the
desktop, but it was still doing the 100% thing anyway. Know of anything
else that would cause that? Thanks for the suggestions!

I would edit your DR Watson registry and set the dump to 0 and
visual notification to 0. The 100% CPU is DW writing the dump
file (which can take a long time).
Path is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DrWatson

Yes it is a serious bug and yes it has been fixed in 2.5. Thetrimname option can trim the spaces off as well. > BTW, the Radius and SQL services already had rights to interact with the> desktop, but it was still doing the 100% thing anyway. Know of anything> else that would cause that? Thanks for the suggestions! I would suggest upgrading to 2.5, fast, since it will most likelyresolve the crash problem.

There are many ways, with the most popular being to use a second text only instance of RadiusNT. We are working on a better way of doing this, by having RadiusNT itself maintain the textfile so that you don't have to have two different implementationsof RadiusNT (just two the same).
