Hi.
Centos 5.x FreeRadius 2.1.1.
I'm reading the book freeradius beginners Guide chapter 6: accounting.
Page 139.
Amount of Time.
I have follow the book, would like to setup my freeradius and be able to manage users time per day.
Following the book, it say that to test we better setup 3 files:
start session stop session
Make some changes to freeradius config files.
Now, with this things ready, I follow the steps to see how it works:
step 7) auth user. step 8) send an accounting start request. wait 30 seconds of more send a accounting stop request. step 9) auth the users again.
The session time out will be 1800-30=1770. This works, but I would like to understand, I can try that steps a lot times and every time it give me the same result: 1770, doesn't suppose that every time I run the same steps the counter must be lower? If I run the start session and wait 2 minutes, the same behavior it give to me 1770. This software is new for me but I want to understand this, thanks!!! file: 4088_06_acct_start.txt Packet-Type=4 Packet-Dst-Port=1813 Acct-Session-Id = "4D2BB8AC-00000098" Acct-Status-Type = Start Acct-Authentic = RADIUS User-Name = "alice" NAS-Port = 0 Called-Station-Id = "00-02-6F-AA-AA-AA:My Wireless" Calling-Station-Id = "00-1C-B3-AA-AA-AA" NAS-Port-Type = Wireless-802.11 Connect-Info = "CONNECT 48Mbps 802.11b" File: 4088_06_acct_stop.txt Packet-Type=4 Packet-Dst-Port=1813 Acct-Session-Id = "4D2BB8AC-00000098" Acct-Status-Type = Stop Acct-Authentic = RADIUS User-Name = "alice" NAS-Port = 0 Called-Station-Id = "00-02-6F-AA-AA-AA:My Wireless" Calling-Station-Id = "00-1C-B3-AA-AA-AA" NAS-Port-Type = Wireless-802.11 Connect-Info = "CONNECT 48Mbps 802.11b" Acct-Session-Time = 30 Acct-Input-Packets = 25 Acct-Output-Packets = 7 Acct-Input-Octets = 3407 Acct-Output-Octets = 867 Acct-Terminate-Cause = User-Request Thanks!!!
