Mon Dec 8 17:29:45 PST 1997 — The RADIUS user authentication server is having problems keeping up with the load we’re placing on it, and this is causing an odd cascade failure effect with authentication. Basicly, each terminal server will make a request, wait one second for a response, and then ask again. If something causes responses to take slighly more than one second, they’ll all ask again, and this extra load makes it take longer, etc etc. Moving to a non-forked mode allows the system to continue to function, but it’s a bit slower. In other words, if you have trouble logging in, we’re working on it, please try again in a minute. -Dane
