Sorry but what YOU are looking for IS a workaround.. RADACCT is the way of doing this.. freeRADIUS can only detect a logoff if an accounting (RADACCT) packet is sent to it from the NAS. Other than that you are going to have to do something along the lines of an SNMP query to the NAS to find out who is currently logged on and figure out who has disconnected from that. RADACCT is designed for exactly this job. What sort of crazy NAS are you using that doesn't support RADACCT? -- ----- Graeme Hinchliffe (BSc) Core Internet Systems Designer Zen Internet (http://www.zen.co.uk/) Direct: 0845 058 9074 Main : 0845 058 9000 Fax : 0845 058 9005 - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?
