Similar to the uptime testing tools that are available for DNS and http. Chatted to my current monitoring provider and it would probably involve building a custom script for their system. Something along the lines of radtest and then you would add a nasclient line for each testing location and dummy users entry that can be queried by the test location. -- Graham Beneke Apolix Internet Services - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Re: online users
You need to be querying to radacct table - that is where you would find information on sessions. radcheck is generally only the static data regarding the users on your system. regards Graham Beneke Mordor Networks wrote: hi ivan thank you for your reply it tried this : $requet = SELECT COUNT(*) FROM radcheck WHERE AcctStopTime=0; $login_users = $requet and $login_users = SELECT COUNT(*) FROM radcheck WHERE AcctStopTime=0; still 0 , what im doing wrong? - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Re: Assign static ip based on MAC
N S wrote: Currently chillispot is handing out ip addresses and FreeRadius ippool module is commented ( not using it) If you are using web based login then chillispot hands out its DHCP leases before it does its radius authentication. (The radius authentication only happens after the user has entered a username and password in the login page.) In order to give out fixed IP addresses you have to set chillispot to do MAC-Auth which will query the radius server with the MAC address as the username. This causes it to do a radius request when the device initially connects. You then must include a 'Framed-IP-Address' attribute in your radius reply. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Prefixing Topics with Mailing list name
Hi Guys Something thats been bugging me about this list for a while is the fact that the post subjects have no indication which mailing list they are from. All the other mailing lists I'm on prefix subjects with something like [freeradius] but since this list (as well as freeradius-devel) don't do this it makes it quite difficult to figure out what is going on in my inbox.

Rewriting reply attributes
Hi guys Is there any way (in some post processing module perhaps) to rewrite the name of a reply attribute without changing the value. One of the modules that I am using has the reply attribute 'hardwired' but it is returning the exact attribute value that I require. The more elegant solution would be to make the module more customisable - which is something I plan to pursue on the devel list shortly. But it would be really good if I can find a stop gap solution in the mean time. -- Graham Beneke Apolix Internet Services E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Cell: 082-432-1873 callto://+27824321873 Skype: grbeneke callto://grbeneke WEB: www.apolix.co.za http://www.apolix.co.za/ - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

radcheck vs radreply
I seem to have a conceptual misunderstanding of the radcheck and radreply tables - and all my googling has given me nothing solid to correct myself on. Can someone explain the difference of the 2 and what their purpose in the system is. My understanding it the radcheck is used to decide whether a user should have access to the NAS and values are then sent back from the results of these checks... The radreply is then simply a list of properties/configuration attributes that are returned to the NAS is that specific user is authorised. My confusion comes - though - due to the fact that when running a radtest on my server none of the radcheck attributes are being returned and the users are being allowed to do more than they should be as a result. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Once you figure it out, maybe you wouldn't mind contributing some better documentation for rlm_sqlcounter to the project. I am sure future implementers would appreciate it.

It gives examples of how to use sqlcounter for time based billing - but it does not explain what the different elements of the sqlcounter are - or how they work.

I added the dictionary file in the /etc/freeradius/ directory and then added a $include into 'dictionary' Also tried 'cut-n-pasting' the contents of the additional dictionary to 'dictionary' and that also made no differnence.

Missing Attributes
I have FreeRadius 1.1 installed on a Ubuntu 6.06 Server Edition. I have integrated it with MySQL and a PHP admin application called phpMyPrepaid It is serving requests for a ChilliSpot daemon at my hotspot. I've added the additional Chillispot dictionary that has attributes for data volume limiting - but it does not appear to be working. I did a test radius request from a little win app called RadiusTest and it appears that the custom attributes are not been sent in the rad-reply packet by the radius server... As this is my first experience with radius - i have no idea where to start looking for where the problem may be. regards Graham Beneke Apolix Internet Services E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] WEB: www.apolix.co.za http://www.apolix.co.za/ Cell: 082-432-1873 skype:+27824321873?call Skype: grbeneke skype:grbeneke?call - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe?

Distro with FreeRadius 1.1
Hi All I'm trying to setup a FreeRadius 1.1.x - MySQL - phpMyPrepaid system. I'm looking for a distro that can get me there with the least path of resistance... I've currently got a dedicated box running FC4 and FreeRadius 0.9.x and I've been fumbling around for 2 weeks now and not getting anywhere. I found an RPM for ver 1.1.x and tried to install it but the system was unable to resolve a whole stack of dependencies. Tried to install from source and I got attacked by pages and pages of warnings and errors that i don't have a clue how to resolve...

Thanks for the input guys - but it appears people don't fully read before replying.
