Re: Re :checking authorization in the duration of connection
Hi Arran I have trouble.would you please send me codes? I don't know how those support adsl do ? when users are online during all the days and there is limitation on the traffic amount? It's possible even if the NAS doesn't support PoD, so long as the NAS supports the 802.1X mib, you should be able to fire off an SNMP-SET with the exec module and force re-authentication. All the required information is available in the Accounting Request the server just received. If you're really having trouble and ask nicely i'll write some example code.

Thanks Alan. To follow-up, 2.1.5 was tested using my parameters, and the condition did not reappear.

High CPU usage after SQL failure when using buffered-sql
Hi all, First, I've used FreeRADIUS for a number of years in a number of installations, and I'm fairly comfortable with it. I have looked through the archives, as well as read the documentation, FAQ, wiki and the notes within each of the configuration files that make up FR, such as the virtual servers and modules that would be used. Now onto the issue: During testing of a new RADIUS cluster, I implemented the buffered-sql virtual server, which works fine, with the detail file poll interval set to 10 seconds. However, when I simulate a failure of the accounting MySQL server to which it normally writes, CPU usage spikes significantly, from an average of ~ 1-2% to 30+ over time. If the accounting MySQL server is unavailable for longer than 2-3 minutes, the spikes occur much more frequently. Once the SQL server returns to service, accounting records stored in the detail file are properly read and inserted into the DB, then the files are cleared, as I expected. However, the RADIUS process still maintains a higher than normal CPU load (according to top) of around 10%, which spikes to 30-40% when it is handling a new request (note the singular). The server is a dual Xeon 3.something, with 2GB RAM and SCSI disks. The server is running Debian Linux 2.6.26-2-686. FreeRADIUS is running version 2.1.4, compiled manually. During previous debugging, while running FR in debugging mode, I noted that it was attempting to read the detail file every second, sometimes less. This matches a comment made by Alan in a similar sounding issues discussed on the list in April 2008. (http://www.mail-archive.com/freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org/msg44137.html) Is there any way to mitigate these CPU issues in version 2.1.4? -- Stephen - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

RE: Re :checking authorization in the duration of connection
Hi Ivan, This is outdated since Freeradius 2 but the basics remain true, ie: Create a new record each time an accounting update is received to get (as much as possible) an up-to-date database, especially when sessions last for a long time. This helps to get an updated traffic every hour for instance. I'll write a new version as soon as I get a chance for FR2.

You just need a username and password for testing. That's it. Don't make any changes to default radiusd.conf and clients.conf for locahost radtest.
