Re: Turning on sql in accounting - 2 questions
I found out why. freeradius is running as uid 'freeradius', so it cannot create files under /var/log. and the Unix module bombed because of that, and therefore no ack. The debug log was indeed the key :) Thanks, -npy - Original Message - From: Alan DeKok [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: FreeRadius users mailing list freeradius-users@lists.freeradius.org Sent: Sunday, May 18, 2008 2:04 PM Subject: Re: Turning on sql in accounting - 2 questions NPY wrote: I found out why.

Re: Turning on sql in accounting - 2 questions
2. Why am I getting 3 rows of data in table radacct for each session? Read the debug log. It's likely that the NAS isn't sending a consistent Acct-Session-Id. I found out why.

Hi, 1. In sites-available/default, I found that 'sql' logging only works in accounting only if I put it in front of 'unix' under the accounting section. Why? 2.
