Are we talking about M0n0 as a NAS here? If yes, why not to mod the boxy to do internal counting of the section and then "talk" to the radius with final data? -----Original Message----- From: YvesDM [mailto:ydmlog@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, April 09, 2007 11:37 AM To: Peter Boosten Cc: m0n0wall@lists.m0n0.ch Subject: Re: [m0n0wall] Captive Portal and Radius On 4/9/07, Peter Boosten <peter@boosten.org> wrote:

When you use radius you can specify max-daily-session through sqlcounter.
Yves, thanks for your answer, although it doesn't answer my question.
Again: I defined a max-daily-session. Works like charm. But I don't want him to use this max-daily-session in one run. I would like him to take some breaks (say every two hours), so I defined a Session-Timeout of 7200 seconds. But nothing prevents him from logging in just after the Session-Timeout expired.
So I would like to know if there's some parameter that defines the minimum time between two sessions.
I see, sorry I missed that part. If I need to do this I usually use a linux firewall and change the iptables rules through cron. There are firewall distro's with ready to use examples for this, but of course they are off-topic on this list and I don't know if you actually want to use them at all. If you want more info on this you can e-mail me off list, no problem.
But I think setting up a radius server is a little overkill when it's only
to control your son's internet use.
Let the ethics be my worry. It has proven its use already (we're talking internet addiction here...).
Sounds familiar ;-) Just thinking, can't you add/delete a check item to radcheck through some script? expiration Attribute or something? Let the script set/delete a (passed by) expiration date in radcheck. When the attribute is there he won't be able to login cause his account will be expired, when the attribute is not there, he can login :-) Something like this: mysql> select * from radcheck where `UserName` = 'hombrouckxeli'; +-----+---------------+---------------+----+---------------+ | id | UserName | Attribute | op | Value | +-----+---------------+---------------+----+---------------+ | 359 | hombrouckxeli | User-Password | := | ****masked**** | | 360 | hombrouckxeli | Expiration | := | 01 april 2007 | +-----+---------------+---------------+----+---------------+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) mysql> Kind regards Yves
