Why, oh why, do people trawl the internet for outdated and inaccurate


Ivan, this is just the result of:
http://www.google.com/search?q=radius+expiration+attribute
(the results ranking may differ, we are not near)

I usually tend to make the web search before searching the docs,
at least to see wether:
- the doc exists
- I am alone to have my problem

It's just an informative step, that is going to be
followed by the documentation you pointed out.

So you buy a washing machine. You don't know which wash is which oprogram.
Do you:

a) read the user manual that came with it?

b) search the Internet in hope of finding a sensible instruction?

You would never (I hope) opt for b) when washing machine is in question?
Do you behave rationally only if you pay for something?

  That's nice.  But the documentation you were reading (and the link you
posted) was for *another* RADIUS server.

  Is it really that difficult to tell one product from another?

 at least to see wether:

 - I am alone to have my problem

  The doc directory has a file rlm_expiration.  Maybe it would help?

What RADIUS attribute would suit to account expiration?


Expiration.


I cannot find its documentation (its syntax)
A hint:
http://www.open.com.au/pipermail/radiator/2008-July/014935.html

But not more...
A help?

Expiration.

http://www.portmasters.com/tech/docs/pdf/radius-release20.pdf

In RADIUS 1.16, if a user record contained an incorrectly formatted Expiration 
date
(for example, the Expiration check item was “Oct 1 1996”, rather than
“Oct 01 1996”), the user would be authenticated even after this expiration date.
With RADIUS server 2.0, attempts on or after the expiration date display an
Account has expired message. Incorrectly formatted expiration dates are now
logged.

Why, oh why, do people trawl the internet for outdated and inaccurate
(this one is not even for freeradius) information. Why not try man and doc
pages included with the server first??? Even if you have installed some
binary distribution and documentation is not included in the primary
package it's probably in some additional package (freeradius-documentation
or something like that).
