* This is the VOP Radius mailing list * If the access point provide interim packets, you can avoid this problem. You set the Interval Time in the Client tab (when you choose "modify".) So if you set it to 600 seconds, and you do not get an Interim packet within that time, Radius removed them from the online list, but they can still be online. Obviously if you do this something blocks the Interim packet, the user gets some "free" usage. If the POP does not provide Interim packets, then they users get taken off the online list after the first period expires. It all works sort of halfway well for us, but we don't use time banking so it is not critical.

Routing tables change...bugs and other things happen. Yes. They never, ever go away. It's very annoying. I've seen some implementations...not with VOP...whereby if a users dials with the same number that's orphaned in the Session table, then the old user must have had a lost STOP record. I would like a setting whereby they get purged after the Session limit. We had to change our port-limits to a much higher value because Vircom won't allow for timebanking with disabling session limits. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Matt Grommes > (SpinnNet System Admin) > Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 3:45 PM > To: vopradius > Subject: [VOP RADIUS] Ghost logins > > > * This is the VOP Radius mailing list * > Occasionally we have users logging in on our national dialup provider > who log off but we don't get the Radius stop packets so they stay > logged in on our end.
