Hello Everyone. I am new to *nix in general, and so when I ran across unix-time for the first time, I took the time to read up on it. I have created a wifi captured portal system using freeRADIUS, Mysql and Open BlueDragon, but I am having a problem with the Expiration attribute in freeRADIUS. Admittedly, the problem is probably DEU (defective end-user), so I am hoping someone here can help me out.
Do I have to use the Unix-time for the Expiration attribute, or do I have a more human-readable option? I tried various standard database and programming timestamp values, but freeRADIUS always returns a "can't parse date" error whenever I use anything but unix-time. If I must use unix time, which I understand is GMT zulu, should I pass my expiration dates to the database in GMT zulu as well? Is freeRADIUS taking my (Pacific Time) offset into account which is set on the server? I took the time to write some time conversion code in CFML, so I am ready to go as soon as I can figure out what the freeRADIUS server expects of me. I spent a lot of time the last couple days looking around online, and subsuquently learned quite a bit more on this subject, but never found a solution to my problem. OS: Ubuntu Server 8.04 freeRADIUS version: 1.1.7-1build4 (the version apt installs for Hardy) mySQL: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5 Thanks in advance, and have a great Sunday night. - mt
