Keith,
There is a text document in the Docs directory under the source directory
where you un-tarred the source code called "aaa.txt". It will answer some
of your questions. As for the others:
> 1. How do I limit the traffic for a user?
You dont, at least not with radius - unless there is a specific attribute
your network access server understands to set the bandwidth for a user -
then you could return that attribute for the user to set the bandwidth
allowed...
> 2. How do I shape the traffic for a user once they have gone over their
limit?
You don't, at least not with radius. Radius is an authorization and
authentication server - not a bandwidth packet shaper - the only thing you
could do would be to write scripts to control a packet shaper upstream of
the NAS or AP and trigger the scripts to perform this - Don't take offense
but it sounds like this would be more than you can handle at this point. No
insult intended!!! It is WAY outside the scope of a radius server!
> 3. How to I limit the time slots for a user?
This is possible with freeradius - check out the rlm_sqlcounter file in the
docs directory and also do a search in the list archive for the same thing
(rlm_sqlcounter) This will require installing an sql server to implement
and your access device will need to "understand" timelimits but it is
possible to do.
> 4. How do I control the amount of time a user has been on?
See the answer above...
Hope this helps...
