Hi,
copy of this packets to the appliance. What's the easiest way to do this without messing up with my current configuration?
you just need to edit your current configuration...not mess it up. so something along the lines of symlink or copy copy-acct-to-home-server into the sites-enabled directory so that it will be used/active but wait! that file needs this 'detail' file, right? well, edit the modules/detail file (if not using it already) and make sure it writes 'detailfile' to the correct place (ie that line matches what the read line in the copy-acct-to-home-server says! then in the accounting section of your main server (here I guess its just 'default' you ensure you have a call to 'detail' in your accounting {} section eg if (Acct-Session-Time != 0) { detail } else { ok } (this example has a protection wrapper to ensure certain NAS junk doesnt mess up things!) now...at this point this new VS is going to be quite dumb - it will read in packets from the detail file and then act on them just as you've told it to - ie it will take the packets in and follow rules already set in proxy.conf for how to handle the packets.... so, what you have to do is, in the copy-acct-to-home-server VS, edit the preacct part to have eg preacct { update control { Proxy-To-Realm := "new_appliance" } } and then in proxy.conf have eg realm new_appliance { type = radius accthost = x.x.x.x:1813 secret = SECRET } obviously replacing x.x.x.x and SECRET as required!!!!! ;-) done. alan
