I have I believe got this working pretty much satisfactory now, very impressed good work. It's 80% perfect for what I want, my issue is that if the radacct system that acct is proxied to fails and doesn't respond the local system retries, which is fine, however it logs locally each one of these retries in it's own local format (which I have set to flat file), then when eventually it gives up it doesn't send back a response to the client. Is it possible to only log localy on the initial attempt? but more importantly to send back an 'all is well' response to the client that the acct originally came from regardless of if the downstream server responded or not? Each time I come to do something like this, I like FreeRADIUS more and more. keep up the excellent work. -- ----- Graeme Hinchliffe (BSc) Core Team Member Zen Internet (http://www.zen.co.uk) ICQ 3842605 (link) Direct: 0845 058 9074 Main : 0845 058 9000 Fax : 0845 058 9005 - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
