BUILDDBM(8)

NAME
builddbm - build DBM file from RADIUS users file.

SYNOPSIS
builddbm

DESCRIPTION
This utility is used to build a DBM file (in DBM or NDBM format) from the radius users file to save memory.

Usage of this utility is only encouraged if you don't use multiple DEFAULT entries (or only at the end of the users file) and you have more then 500 entries in the users file. Normally, radiusd reads the users file into memory at startup. With very large files this may cost too many resources and it may then be wiser to use a DBM file to save memory. Be aware that with the fastusers module, one can get very good results with no DBM file, so use of this program may be depreciated.
