We are running a modified Ascend Radius 1.16 under Solaris 2.6 x86, with 
the DBM option.  Today, suddenly, all of our radius servers suddenly 
stopped working.  In investigating, I noticed the error that was consistent 
was "Missing Radius Users File".

We update the .pag file directly using a script that updates our remote 
radius servers in real time.  When I went to investigate , I found that the 
users.pag file was over 3.5 GB in size.  My master radius db file is less 
than 2 GB.

We tore down one of the dbs, imported the users file, did a builddbm on it, 
then set it back to updating.  While the users file was made to be about 
the right size, about halfway through adding the 400 odd transactions from 
that day, it again ballooned in size to 3.5 GB, and immediately quit working.

I know this has to be a DBM problem of some sort.  We are using Perl's 
NDBM_File module to manipulate the file.

Any suggestions from anyone?  We are considering refitting everything to 
use BerkleyDB over NDBM, but this entire event has me very boggled.

Thanks in advance.
