They get all that, have you looked at an accounting record?

  And I answered that in my previous message, in text you deleted.

  No.  Use radrelay.

Either all your radius servers are proxies to the big company's radius
server(s) or you use something like radrelay and just use the accounting
information (which contains the detail you need) you don't need the
actual packets that are sent to the user, just the accounting info.

Unfortunately, What if big company wants all the detailed informations and 
also the small companies want all the detailed info too, like MAC address 
of the users, the beginning and end time of the connection and the small 
company name that the wireless user connected.

  What do you mean by that?


I mean, can FreeRADIUS understand the authentication packets that comes 
from a client that has an IPv6 IP address(128)? Since we are planning to 
use RADIUS in an IPv6 Testbed to authenticate the users.

  Why?


I know it looks strange but, In an scenario like this: you are a big 
company and you have a contract with many smaller companies with their own 
realms. The users which are in this small companies may connect to the 
Internet by using other small companies' NASes. And in order to solve the 
accounting conflict between the small companies the big company wants all 
the data about the authenticating users from all other small companies. Big 
company just will act as a referee.

Is this somehow possible by using proxy option in FreeRADIUS, if yes how?

Thanks a lot,

Tamer

  What do you mean by that?

  Does FreeRADIUS send/receive packets on IPv6 interfaces?  No.

  Does FreeRADIUS send/receive radius packets which contain ipv6
configuration attributes?  Sort of.

  As always, patches are welcome.
