Keeping servers in sync

[Luiz Lima]

Hello,

I'm new to this list, altough I've been using FreeRADIUS for a while now. I
use it exclusively to receive requests from my DSL customers and relay them
to my other RADIUS server (which is a Vircom Proxy and Roaming RADIUS
Server -- VPRRS). I use FreeRADIUS for nothing else. All my DSL operations
are run by the telco and I only authenticate the users.

What happens is that I can see that VPRRS shows different users than
FreeRADIUS. It's like Vircom's server would loose control of who is actually
online. At this momment, there are 55 users online and VPRRS only shows 21.

I DO know that the telco screws things a little bit, including duplicate
ports, different session-ids and things like that, but FreeRADIUS seems to
recover more gracefully than VPRRS from those "mistakes". They use Cisco
equipment (DSL concentrators and a software called Dashboard to authenticate
the users after they are already connected to the DSL system).

Anyway, what I want to know is if FreeRADIUS can generate "Alive" packets to
VPRRS with the goal of keeping them in sync. The telco does not send
watchdogs packets of its own. Can FreeRADIUS that? Or if there's any other
way to keep them together at all times?

Thanks a lot.

What do you mean by cannot edit current users? Does it find a current user or it
just says that the user was not found? Does the Accounting or Find User
pages work ok? Enable mysql logging and check the sql queries executed by
dialup_admin. If you run them by hand do they produce any results?
