[Help-gnu-radius] Long startup time

[Greg G]

This is on a Solaris 2.7 box.

When I start up (or HUP the radiusd), there's about a 2 to 3 minute 
period between when I get the "users reloaded" message and the "Ready to 
process requests" message.  truss shows me *nothing* during this time.  
ps tells me that its' in the 'run' state or taking up 40%+ of one of my 
CPUs.  What is it doing during this time, and is there possibly a way to 
shorten it?  I don't want my radius server to be down that long if I'm 
just HUPping it.

Here's some detail.

When I HUP, I see that the config files all get read and then a 
"rewrite" file is created.  I then see this:
brk(0x04AEAC60)                                 = 0
brk(0x04AECC60)                                 = 0

Then, nothing.  ps says that's its eating the CPU as above.  There's no 
message, but after the 2 minutes, it starts processing queued requests 
(for which the client has long since timed out).

So, is this normal?
