<p class=MsoNormal>Dear All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a few questions regarding the rlm_sqlcounter module
and its configuration. I have a freeradius 2.1.0 communicating with a router
running chillispot 1.1 I set up counters for time, data volume, and with
different reset periods. All works fine and as expected.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Here my questions:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>1)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>After the time or data volume for a period (say a
month) is reached the user is automatically disconnected – as expected.
Rather them not allowing to log in , I would like freeradius to return some
other attributes (WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Up and WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Down work fine
with ChilliSpot) to be sent to the router for the user, so that a connection is
still possible, but at a much lower maximum speed. Can that be done, and if so,
can someone give me a pointer. I was thinking maybe using unlang, but I may be
barking up the wrong tree.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>2)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>The reset = monthly method seem
to the first of the current month. That is one way of doing it, but I would
like the reset to occur at the same date in the month every month. So if
someone signs up, say on the 12<sup>th</sup> of a month, the reset will occur
every month on the 12<sup>th</sup>. Can that be done with freeradius?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>3)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>Currently I receive something like Reply-Message
= "Your maximum never usage time has been reached" when
the counter reaches its limit – even when what was counted as not time
but data volume. Can Reply-Message for sqlcounter be configured as in the
expiration module?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
class=apple-style-span><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>4)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span></span><![endif]>One surprise I have had: I don’t quite
understand how the system calculates the day for the beginning of the reset = weekly.
I appreciate that calculating the day of the week is not easy as for example
first of the current month or beginning of the day, so I was not surprised to
not have a Monday, but I was surprised to see the SQL query run with ‘<span
class=apple-style-span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";
color:black'>Fri Jan 09 2009 00:00:00 GMT+1300 (New Zealand Daylight Time)’
as beginning of the week, when running the query on a Saturday. BTW, SQL time
is configured correctly, and the UNIX_TIMESTAMP is giving a correct timestamp
for local time. What am I missing?<br>
(Note: When setting reset = 7d, I get something more explainable like ‘Sat
Jan 10 2009 00:00:00 GMT+1300 (New Zealand Daylight Time)’, which is the
beginning of the today’s day. Should reset = weekly and reset =7d yield
the same result? If not, what is weekly vs 7d, and why does the week not start
on a Monday?</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
