Hello all - I have freeradius with mysql up and running perfectly.  I
recently "upgraded" from icradius because it seems to have dropped off the
face of the earth.  Anyways - there was a feature in icradius where I could
poll the log file to get customers authentication status.  I created a link
to a php file which referenced this log file for our techs to help with
troubleshooting.  The file looks like this:


<?php

include ('header.php');
$file ="/var/log/radius.log";
$limit="60";

$fp = popen("/usr/bin/tail -$limit $file", 'r');
if (! $fp ) {
 echo 'unable to pipe command';
}

while (!feof($fp) ) {
  $line = fgets($fp, 4096);
print $line."<br>";

}

include ('footer.php');
?>

But - there doesn't seem to be any log file I can poll this type of info
from.  Here's an excerpt of what I was able to get with the above:

Wed Jun 28 13:22:13 2006: Auth: Login OK: [sshort] (from nas CiscoAS5300/S0)
socket 0 (0 sec) Wed Jun 28 13:22:56 2006: Auth: Login OK: [lilia] (from nas Cisco AS5300/S0) socket 0 (0 sec) Wed Jun 28 13:23:03 2006: Auth: Login OK: [eaglesight] (from nas CiscoAS5300/S0) socket 0 (0 sec) Wed Jun 28 13:23:56 2006: Auth: Login OK: [dierman] (from nas CiscoAS5300/S0) socket 0 (0 sec) Wed Jun 28 13:23:58 2006: Auth: Login OK: [rprice] (from nas CiscoAS5300/S0) socket 0 (0 sec) Wed Jun 28 13:25:32 2006: Auth: Login OK: [hafens] (from nas CiscoAS5300/S0) socket 0 (0 sec) Wed Jun 28 13:25:43 2006: Auth: Login OK: [edie_a] (from nas CiscoAS5300/S0) socket 0 (0 sec) Wed Jun 28 13:26:09 2006: Auth: Login OK: [megameg] (from nas CiscoAS5300/S0) socket 0 (0 sec) Wed Jun 28 13:26:35 2006: Auth: Login OK: [stinger] (from nas CiscoAS5300/S0) socket 0 (0 sec) Wed Jun 28 13:26:39 2006: Auth: Login OK: [inahat] (from nas CiscoAS5300/S0) socket 0 (0 sec) Wed Jun 28 14:26:57 2006: Auth: Login OK: [cafe] (from 
nascore219.interbel.net/S10101001) socket 0 (0 sec)


Do we have a log file we can poll this type of info from, or does it store
it in the mysql database somewhere?

Thanks,

------------------------------

Additional Information:

I did find in the radiusd.conf file:

# allowed values: {no, yes}
#
log_stripped_names = yes

#  Log authentication requests to the log file.
#
#  allowed values: {no, yes}
#
log_auth = yes

#  Log passwords with the authentication requests.
#  log_auth_badpass  - logs password if it's rejected
#  log_auth_goodpass - logs password if it's correct
#
#  allowed values: {no, yes}
#
log_auth_badpass = yes
log_auth_goodpass = yes

But have not found where this log file resides.

hi,
in the radius.conf there must be on the top the path variables of radius... something like following : 
See 'doc/variables.txt' for more information.

    23 prefix = /usr/local
    24 exec_prefix = ${prefix}
    25 sysconfdir = /etc/
    26 localstatedir = ${prefix}/var
    27 sbindir = ${exec_prefix}/sbin
    28 logdir = ${localstatedir}/log/radius
    29 raddbdir = ${sysconfdir}/raddb
    30 radacctdir = ${logdir}/radacct
    31
    32 #  Location of config and logfiles.
    33 confdir = ${raddbdir}
    34 run_dir = ${localstatedir}/run/radiusd
    35
    36 #
    37 #  The logging messages for the server are appended to the
    38 #  tail of this file.
    39 #
    40 log_file = ${logdir}/radius.log


bye
