Hi, Just to follow up, I've now got two problems...
I've found IPass to be very unreliable in getting accounting packets to me. It's repeatable at certain pops, so I don't think it's loss between them and my roam server. On opening a support ticket, they basically told me they don't guarantee delivery of accounting packets. That kind of kill my whole idea of using radonline for relaying. I've also found sendmail seems to be pretty greedy about locking the db file, so the makemap hangs around too long waiting on the lock, then it builds up, etc. etc. So now I have to task our other admin to get smtp-auth working I think. And if anyone has some suggestions for an IPass replacement, I'm all ears. I like their SW, coverage and prices, but this whole "we don't guarantee to get you accounting" is pretty lame...
