Re: accounting with freeradius (Alan Buxey)

I hope to see step-by-step instructions to setup accounting system using sql server with freeradius such that I can see a user's network usage (Tx'd / Rx'd).

Use schema.sql from raddb/sql/your_database_type directory to create the database tables. Configure raddb/sql.conf. Uncomment include for sql.conf in radiusd.conf. Uncomment sql entry in accounting in default virtual server. Restart server. That's it.

Also, with freeRADIUS, is there a way to log a user's accounting info in a local file, not in a sql server?

Yes, that's called detail file and that is enabled by default. Ivan Kalik
